Winter symptoms

I am sick. That’s quite usual to pass some illnesses in a winter. Great! 😦 I am discovering the winter again!

So, yes, it begun with sore throat. At this point I thought I was mirroring my daughter’s state who was actually sick last week in Singapore and that I caught the surrounding virus that is spreading these days at my working place. Then I thought it would rather go towards a kind of “angina” or pharyngitis, which, psychologically, means a lot about how things are stuck in the throat and can’t be expressed. (Bertrand, do you copy?).

But nope, it went on its way towards just a light flu-like disease : I felt weak with a bit of sore throat and heavy running nose this morning. My voice has mutated and I am sneezing all the time. I am lucky though: no fever, nor bone pain.

Because I trust my body I will just let it express and discharge what it needs to, and be sick for few more days, accompanying it on the way. My medication will be warmth, sleep, tea, soups, lemon, and patience. And maybe this is the good time for me to relearn my basic steps of Tai Chi, which I have a couple of time tried again since I am here in Maine. I like particularly the 13 steps taught in Singapore by my former masters May and Daniel. It is a three and a half minute complete exercice that can be repeated 3 times in a raw, daily. You have a video right here:

Also, my runs have been postponed since Sunday because I had trouble breathing and felt so cold in advance! but I have continued a daily workout with warming up exercices, push ups, Russian twists, and of course the 32 burpees for the challenge! I’ll take it just a little bit easier until I recover.. and tomorrow it should be snowing! Yeah!!
