Not only does being seriously ill remind me how blessed I am to have people around me who care about me, but it also gives me far too much time to think. They just aren't usually very clear thoughts. Except for this flash of insight I had today.
We have a lot of serious diseases our species survives on a regular basis, starting with flu. But we do survive them. And we do it because where other sick creatures take themselves away from others, we turn to our fellow humans for help, care and support.
Think about that while I go finish recovering from flu.
And by the way, if you're one of the folks that have helped me through this one - thanks. I needed you all.
