Last night was a challenging one, the first time I was conscious of just how tenuous this whole breathing thing can be.
It’s frightening to cough so much that you feel you can’t stop, to feel like you can’t keep up with your next breath.
It’s even more sobering when you wake up later feeling like you’ve gone 10 rounds with Muhammad Ali (or maybe Will Smith).
Bottom line, this is no joke. And as much as the vaccines we’ve been blessed with are able to minimize the impact for most of us, this is still way more than a bad cold or flu equivalent.
Which is why I’m heeding calls to rest. It’s never been my nature to disconnect, but this isn’t just some average bug to be ignored, and I’ve got to give my body every possible chance to recover.
Not spreading this to my family, or ending up in hospital will be a nice bonus, too. So that will be my focus going forward.
And when they say nothing matters more than health, believe them. And govern yourself accordingly.
About this pic: A watery scene taken last December not far from the Thames. I’ll get back there soon enough. Until then, I’ve got tons of archived photos to work through. Hope you enjoy ‘em.
