The flu bug has gotten bad where I live. So bad that schools have used some of their built-in snow days and cancelled classes so the children and staff can get better. Everyone loves a day off but this is not the way many wanted it to come about. Several people I work with were scrambling to find child care options for tomorrow as our local school system has also called off school for Friday. I got a flu shot in November. I can’t remember the last time I had it. Those who got the bug are sitting at home trying to get well.
Here’s a graphic that shows the difference between the common cold and the flu. Stay healthy my friends.
I am discovering I can’t keep up with every post from my blogging community, it’s really hard to do so. Conversely I don’t expect you to keep up with every one of my posts and you know how much I post in a day. This is something I shouldn’t stress about because life has plenty for me to be stressed out about. I am grateful for those who visit when they have time and appreciate their interest. Keep on blogging everyone.
I have deep respect for the women in my life and respect their voice to have their say in determining what happens in their lives. It is important for them to have a level playing field in all parts of life. No woman should be silenced when she has something to say that can make life better for everyone or to bring attention to serious issues of the day. I believe that women are worth listening to no matter what they have to say.
People with voices want to be heard. Sometimes the issue is about listening. Noise can make it hard to be heard. When people speak they have a strong desire to be understood for comprehension for respect. Protesters want their message to get across to those who they hope will receive it. To be heard is to be loved and cared about. It’s always good to let those in your life know they are heard too.
