A Quiet Time

I spoke with my doctor yesterday about the symptoms I’m experiencing and was told that I mostly likely had swine flu. To be on the safe side I am to stay home for seven days. I feel horrible but had to explain to Thomas that I wasn’t dying. He told me he heard people die from Swine flu, I told him if they were weak to begin with they could have troubles but otherwise it was just like a normal flu- not fun but you’ll survive. So now my kids are avoiding me like the plague, they walk in big circles around me and blow me kisses…ok, I’ll accept that, I wouldn’t want to be sick either if I was them. I was asked how I could take photos when I’m not feeling well. Well, I usually try and keep going when I’m sick, if I stop up and admit I’m sick I usually FEEL really sick and fall apart, but sometimes I can trick myself and keep going and I still feel bad but not as bad as I would if I stopped up completely. Well, I felt worse after that walk yesterday..and when the doctor said stay home for seven days, I finally allowed myself to stop up…have nothing better to do for seven days, so why not let myself feel sick and get better?

Until I’m able to take more photos again I’ll leave you with this beautiful video with some amazing photos of the Norwegian countryside. Looks like a lot of photos from the west coast of Norway which is truly God’s country..amazing breathtaking views that leave you extremely humbled. If you ever plan a trip to Norway, the west coast should absolutely be on your to see list. Enjoy folks- see ya soon- oink oink…
