My Thoughts on Influenza

I had the Flu from around Christmas Eve until about January 4th. It was absolutely NO fun. I got a brand new 16Kg (Perform Better) KB for a Christmas present and there it sits - under the tree.

I still had a blessed, blessed Christmas. People keep saying things to me like "Wow what a bummer for Christmas". I don't think so, don't get me wrong "The Flu" is never any fun, but Christmas? Christmas is always wonderful. I have heard some say that we should be celebrating Christmas as the death of Jesus - I am sure they mean well - yet...no I reserve Christmas day to celebrate as I do anybody else's birthday (albeit this is the most very special one). To me Christmas is a day to celebrate the fact that Jesus was born. Even the Angels sang praises. To whit:

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Thats what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown.

Now some thoughts on Influenza:

First - The Flu sucks
Second - Well...the Flu just sucks

And thats about all I have to say about that.
