If you take a careful look at it life, one would notice life always takes care of you, even if you don’t. Be it being the eye of a storm, being in a soup or something as simple as not looking after your health. Life steps in to care. When illness swamps up on you and binds you down; it, pulls you away from your crazy schedules and makes you focus on your core and TLC from people who care works as much as the medicines to help you get better and feel better. Also it makes you count your blessings, the friends who pitch in to help you. The kindness of the people who care for you to ensure you aren’t stressed about anything, and striving to make you the most comfortable you can be given the circumstances. If we examine carefully it is clear that our spells of ill-health brings you closer to the people who are truly important in life, and also helps re-connect to inner selves. Like they say every cloud has a silver lining.
Now in my convalescence phase I didn’t really stay put so much, I hate being idle, I tried to squeeze in as many hours in the office whenever I could, I love my work. Being ill seems even worse when you are forced to abandon something you love, to a restless mind itching to get back to work the convalescence period seems dreadful, suddenly the aches and pains that you never noticed, which were playing a minor insignificant role to work, balloon up and take over the stage as the leading character. Staying at home I experienced more pain than I’d noticed before, however, it gave me some time off, read up on the books that I’d not been able to spend time with, finally settled down with Wodehouse. There is nothing better than a Wodehouse tale as a pick me up. No matter how awful a day can be Wodehouse can have you bubbling over with delight and merriment with one of his tales. A hilarious tale like ‘Money for Nothing’ is designed specifically to restore one’s good spirits.
And another comforting factor during this phase has been Gucci, the little darling stuck by my side closer than a shadow, offering all the soothing and sense of peace I’d need to heal faster. She is truly a wonderful pet, every time I’m unwell she’ll be there to sooth, offer her comforting paw and never leaving my side until I’m up. The way she takes care of me is something, only a pet owner with a deep bond can understand. But truly as the wise Wodehouse said, all you really need in life, are a few good friends, books and a dog.
