Health

I haven't updated my blog for a few weeks, I haven't really had much to say. I feel bad because it was Reid's birthday last week and I didn't take a single picture of his birthday parties or anything. I have been thinking that it is partially because I am finding that I get a little depressed during the month of January. It may because of the lack of sunshine, or the let down of the holidays or because of the cold but I feel a bit blue. I have noticed it the last couple of years and it seems to get a bit worse each year. I am going to try and snap out of it.

This last week I got the flu, or a bad cold or whatever it was. I am telling you it was no fun. I am over the worst of it I think, but still not feeling 100% better. I don't really feel like doing much of anything except lay around. I am trying today to get some housework done since I haven't done much the last several days.

I am normally a pretty healthy person the only real health issues I have had have been my allergies and asthma, which stay pretty controlled with the help of medicine. Other than that I have been quite lucky when it comes to my health. I decided that I really take that for granted. I feel very blessed that most of the time I feel good, I have energy and I can do what I want and need to do on a daily basis. This last week of being sick and not being able to do that has made me realize how blessed I am when it comes to my health. I look around at people that struggle daily with their health and I feel bad that I haven't had very much compassion for their trials. Sometimes I have had the tendency to not be understanding or empathetic of others in this area. I hope that I can do better.

My poor little Treyton and Carolina are still a bit under the weather. Today I found Treyton in his bed asleep all on his own accord. The poor kid still doesn't feel very good, and Carolina has just wanted to snuggle all day. I hope that they start feeling better soon too.
