Poorly but happy

Hey folks

I have been either bed-ridden or couch-ridden all day today, having been struck down with a cold and sore throat combo. This forced state of sloth sounds pretty tempting in normal, healthier circumstances when one is bored at work, but when this scenario presents actually itself it is not so appealing. Plus as it turns out, there is pretty much only shite on telly. What is the point of being couch-ridden if you can't enjoy it?!

However, recently I read "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle and was really interested in what he describes as the three modalities - acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm, and that you should always be in at least one of these states (and hopefully working through to the third state). I don't know about the other two, but I have certainly accepted that I am poorly today. I like the idea that by accepting things, I am on the right track towards being happy. It's all good. But now the weekend is on my doorstep, I hope that my slack day will put me in good stead to enjoy the next two days fully.

Hope all of you out there are well-er than me. Keep it real peeps.

Cheers
Tracy
