A very merry day

Being healthy and in synch with the daily life rhythms is an easily unnoticed blessing. Why? Because it becomes a norm. Autopilot. A nice place to live. Business as usual. An expectation.

We don’t know what we have until it disappears.

Fighting severe jet lag the past week.

Going in and out of sore throat and nausea.

Big keynote speech at Disney yesterday.

Now, this morning, fighting cold and flu symptoms.

Three days ago i went to the walk-in clinic to mitigate a possible collision between an illness and a keynote speech.

i wondered, what if i become too sick to show up for the keynote?

In 25 years of speaking, i’ve never missed a speech. Have also never had to deliver a speech while sick. A remarkable batting average.

So the two separate nose swabs plus the throat swab will confirm what i have or don’t have.

Turned out all three tests said i have no illness.

But today i have classic cold and flu symptoms.

So grateful that yesterday’s wooziness two hours before speaking faded and i was ready and able and excited to go.
