Three whole days without continuous coughing and being able
to have a conversation without stifling a cough, YAY! Finally, after over a month, I’m starting to
feel a little more normal. I have been
back to see my doctor and am on my way to another pulmonary function test
tomorrow.
On another topic, blogging…
I think most everyone, including myself, runs into those days where you
just feel you have nothing to say. You
put off the blogging waiting for something profound to come to you. Before you know it another week has passed
and you find yourself in the same position as the week before, plus you are now
a week behind in your blogs. Or perhaps
you have a whole lot of stuff going on and just not sure if or how to share it.
My intention isn’t to put unwanted pressure on anyone, but
Saturday’s meeting re-emphasized the importance of blogging for me. I’m not a loud outgoing person. I don’t speak up a lot with my thoughts and
feelings in some situations. This isn’t
because I have nothing to say, it’s because I feel this need to pick words
carefully and sometimes don’t feel it’s the right time to speak up or in some
cases am scared of offending someone unintentionally (you can’t take words back
and sometimes things are perceived differently than intended).
At the same time, there are an awful lot of team members who
haven’t been heard from in a while. Are
you guys ok? Without hearing from you,
it’s hard to know where you are or if you might be struggling and may need a
little help. There is a pretty good
chance that whatever struggle you might be having, someone else has found themselves
in those same shoes at some point. Remember, you are part of a team who cares
how you are doing and are more than willing to help! Instead of waiting and allowing things to
snowball and get worse please let someone know.
When those days of writers block hit, just drop a quick note,
if nothing else, letting the rest know
you’re still alive and kicking!
