The itch to write

       Last week I had a viral fever with cough, cold, high fever and body ache. It was so bad that I was lying on the bed most of the time. I had zero energy.        One thing about being sick and choosing to power down was that it gave me time to think .   So here are a few things I realized  about life when I was sick:     1.    Falling sick makes you feel like you have little to no control over your life.    I’m usually the kind of person who plans things ahead and follow through. When I fell sick, I realised that sometimes you need to put things on hold and take care of oneself and rest when needed. I remembered that saying “Everything is super important until you are sick, then you realize the only thing that was important was your health     2.    Health is valuable and fragile — take care of yourself!      Ignoring your body’s needs—such as getting enough sleep and eating well—will eventually catch up to you.  Listen to your body.       Cook your own meals
