Embrace 2020 2/365: sickness as a sign

So today and tomorrow I was planning on major progress on some new goals given that I'm officially still on vacation for blog/consulting work but my kids went back to school today. Instead, my body decided to start 2020 by reminding me that it is boss and needs to be treated respectfully.

I have been been battling a cold since the beginning of the week and my attempts to beat it into submission have been ineffective...clearly it's time to embrace and surrender. I slept nearly 10 hours last night and we all slept through our alarms this morning, which made for groggy back-to-school scramble. But instead of freaking out about lost time today, I have just moved from thing to thing with care. And right this second, I am really grateful for this bowl of hot soup from my Mom. (My Mom sent me home with a giant bag of prepared food yesterday, after the girls did their Korean New Year's bows.) I'm listening to you body, I promise.
