Just recently, one of my students emailed me that he couldn't make it to meet me somewhere, as he was too sick. He followed that up with, "Sick Sucks!".
I saw that as an opportunity to portray the term 'sick' a bit differently.
Here was my response:
You know, sick doesn't suck-
It's the body's way of keeping the books.
It's checks and balances.
What are You lacking? What are You in excess of?
Balance your ledger.
Then health returns.
That's your thought of the day for today....
