Looking on the bright side...

We've been sick at our house.
Yup, the dreaded swine flu hit us hard.
I am the lucky one who never actually had a fever/cough, (two of the tell-tale signs you have H1N1 virus) just the rest of the yuckiness.
We're still coughing and head-aching and basically trying to get completely better.
But this weekend turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We have been so caught up and crazy with life, school, work, and so many other things that we haven't had a chance to slow down and catch our breath.
(Hmmm..probably why we got sick in the first place!)
Since Thursday we couldn't go anywhere, couldn't see anyone, and absolutely had to slow down, get better, hang out as a family, and throw some fun in there when we had the energy. In this case, fun was a walk to the mailbox or playing a game with the boys.
It turned out to be pretty good.
And while we're still on the mend, our little forced break was a bit of fresh air.
Isn't it awesome how He knows what we need.
