It is very difficult for a person when he is ill to bear mentally that he is limited to external factors to perform daily labors.

Every rule has an exception which is the so-called hypochondriac. This is the person who will never be free from illness. Any day you ask him how the person is he will only say a series of symptoms that keep him a slave to his thoughts. In the end, he has no illness but it is his mind that creates all the unimaginable situations to convince others that he feels sick.

Going back to the initial point, I assure you that I would give anything for my body to listen to me and stop feeling sick. My son is past the peak of his discomfort. He is almost physically well, but you know what? Now it's my turn.

I haven't written for two days because I was very tired, had a very sore throat and a fever. Today I can say that thanks to medication, fluids, and prayers I am recovering.

I am not as bad as my son was. I am stronger and more used to the struggles. And today I only have a few symptoms like hoarseness, cough, runny nose, and some fever, nothing more. Thank God for that.

I tried to stay in confinement for 48 hours but I can't stand the confinement anymore. I came to my computer to write what I feel and how I have been feeling.

I looked at my plants through my bedroom window and just thought that they were blooming and I couldn't take the usual pictures because of my confinement so as not to spread the flu viruses or covid as my doctor calls it.

Health is something we long for when we feel fatigued. Because activities are minimized and although our mind wants to go on in the routine the body does not let you go on but pulls you to rest.

Only my body is suffering because my spirit is strengthened. I am a faithful believer in God's will, of course! I don't want to die, I want to continue on these paths with my son and with all the gifts that the Lord gives me day by day. The truth is that I put all my faith in Him and in His "His will and not mine be done." I know that He owns my life as well as my death, and when He decides I will accept His will. In the meantime I know that is not what is happening today.

No, it's not my departure yet, at least not with this disease. I will go on to get better, my mood is strengthened and my faith is unshakable.

For the illness of the body the best thing is rest, nutrition, and medication and for the feeding of the soul which is the most important thing is to keep firm faith, be cheerful, optimistic, and positive because this too will pass.
