The pain stretches
Over your entire body
From your head
To your toes

Your throat
Feels like it is closing up
Like you can't swallow
And the siliva flows

The flu sucks
Makes you feel miserable
Makes you feel like your gonna die
But you know
You aren't

The Flu
I wouldn't wish
Even on my closest enemy
Oh yuck
Oh poo

Cold hands means a warm heart

Sorry to hear you are suffering! I haven't had the flu in years (touch wood!). My immune system is strong---probably because I take so many supplements! I spend a small fortune on them!

Sending you some fresh carrot juice that I just made....there you go! Now wasn't that absolutely delicious? Feel better?

Warm hugs,
EA

Sorry that you're suffering... happy to see that you are riding the tide to healing quite swiftly- you still have your sense of humor, and that will pull you through!

The last two lines- heartfelt and funny at once!  

Thank you!!  Even when you're sick, you share!

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Julie, I haven't been sick in six years so it's hard to pretend to know how it must feel, but I send chicken soup hugs your way, drink plenty of chamomile tea and you'll get well in a snap! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alwyas shine upon you!

Love,
