each person’s life is lived as a series of conversations
Deborah Tannen
“A day” in an ordinary grace filled life of one…. Tiffini
I woke at 4:30 to think I may just die…I’m sick. when your sick does everything seem magnified? I notice the dog hair everywhere a little more…my feet need some major help…a pedicure maybe? I stink..my hair feels extra dirty..I don’t feel like brushing my teeth. Haven’t worked out in a week…only eating carbs…this is not so bad:)..chest and lymph nodes are hurting and I roll back over until the alarm wakes me at 6:30 to which I answer…coffee. Hot liquid + sore throat = thank Jesus for coffee right?
I go to the Dr on Thursday SO…take some medicine and get the kids off to school and instead of allowing myself to get all embroiled over how miserable I am…I answer this invitation to take
A whole day to do NOTHING ( insert sick happy dance ) So my day consisted of quiet music playing in the background..my laptop..a big bottle of Gatorade…frost riptide rush:)…a big bowl of Annie’s Macaroni and cheese for lunch… a nap…ok I did manage to jump in the tub for a bath..the dog hair… well…it is what it is but … I am loving my quiet sick day. When sickness causes us to be grateful for downtime.
Now it is your turn:) Can’t wait to see and hear what you have to share. love you all…I pray we BELIEVE we are worthy of love and belonging…anything else is a lie:)
Just link up your exact URL to the post you wish to share. I am looking so forward to visiting each of you:) If you have time…stop and share conversation and love to others. Oh – don’t forget to receive the conversation and love;)

Oh boy. I've done the "sick happy dance" before. It's sometimes nice to be forced to slow down! Great post
Even though it was because of being sick, those days of doing nothing are few and far between and should be embraced. I'm glad that you embraced the day of rest you were given. What blessing.
You know — my oldest has been on winter break for 3 days (Monday-Wednesday) and both youngest and oldest will have school on Thursday. I have a meeting at 12:30, but I am seriously tempted to take from 9:30-12:30 OFF and have some me time. I've been working in overdrive trying to work and write and be mom and clean my house and now I am simply tired. You have encouraged me to take, if not a sick day, a mental health day.
I've done the snow day happy dance a few times lately. So exciting to have found time. But I don't appreciate, luxuriate and just rest in it, and you inspire me to rethink that!
I am had a sick day on Tuesday too. It was no fun. But I am glad you enjoyed a day to slow down. Hope you are feeling better soon! I enjoyed linking up today!
Perfect, I love that you embrace what life offers. Hope you feel better soon. I hope to have something to link later today, I need to get pictures. Thank you for this beautiful idea.
God Bless,

Thanks for the link up! Oh, so sorry you aren't feeling well. Hope you are feeling better after your "quiet sick day!"
Tiffini! I so wanted to link up, but didn't get anything written
However, I soooooooooo hope you are feeling better. We had 6 inches of snow last night, so we are having a snow day! Yay! Put a turkey breast in the crock pot, now getting ready to go build a snow man! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy for snow day!
It was a pleasure to visit your beautiful blog. Thank you for inviting me. I hope you feel better!
Blessings xo
Thanks for hosting! I didn't get to spend as much time as I would've liked this morning and sorry I am just now getting around to posting, but it was nice to reflect.
Always, Kate
So, so sorry you're sick!!
A day in my life has been too hectic this week so I wasn't able to pull anything together to join in, but thank you for including me. I'm off to check out what everyone else's life looks like.
Love this series Tiffini!
Big hugs to you~
