Topic: My Daily Personal Life, by Felissa M. Garcia

Sometimes I feel like I'm just writing and nobody is out there. Today I got a response from Claudia Garcia, one of our Blog's readers and I was so excited! Claudia, you said something that I had completely forgotten about. That is that I have forgotten to ask God for help. I always think that I can do this "life" thing on my own and without help. But the truth is that we really can't do anything without the help of God. Not even such a basic task as breathing since it is by the grace of God that we do breathe, that we are alive. So today I want to thank you for reminding me about the most important thing I should have been thinking about all along.

I haven't written in a couple of days because I have a flu. NO not the swine flu but just some kind of yucky flu. Why do they call it the swine flu, even though it did come from a pig. It just makes it sound that much worse, don't you think? Anyway, I don't feel good at all and I haven't been able to go to work because I don't want to get everybody over there sick. I miss being there, laughing and enjoying our work environment. I realized last week that my job is like no other. I realized that I never look at the clock to see how much time is left before I can go home. How blessed is that? It made me realize just how much I love my job and how much I love working at the Firm. I just wish I felt better because I miss everybody at the office.

I'm supposed to be working on a brief and I've done some research on it but I haven't been able to finish because I get sick in the middle of it and I have to go lay down. Of course, there has been NO exercise done this week. Part of me is glad that I have an excuse, but the other part of me really does wish I felt better so I can exercise. I have to go weigh in this Friday at Fit Weight Loss Center. Oh my goodness, I am not looking forward to that. I have lost about 11 pounds so far but I know this week is not going to look good. I have not exercised, and I have eaten my favorite ice cream, Ben and Jerry's "Phish Food". Have you ever had that? If you haven't, maybe you shouldn't try it because it is the best ice cream I have ever tasted in my life and when I'm sick that's what I reach for to make me feel better. It is SOSOSOSO good. If you end up trying it, please let me know how you like it!

I'm starting to feel sick again so I better go lay down again. The only thing that scares me with this flu is that when I go to sleep, I have terrible nightmares. They are awful so I'm scared to go to sleep. I hope I get better soon. I hope you stay well and I will talk to you again very soon. Felissa M. Garcia
