A Cold Crisp End of February Reset
Shedding old sick skin so I can become new and walk again.
I felt a part of me was dead in this winter but within me God has placed a spring

Well, I’m back. I feel like me again. The day after Valentine’s Day I caught the flu and it was the longest week of my life. I had not had a major cold or a virus since 2014 so there were symptoms that felt foreign to me. I forgot how uncomfortable fevers, chills, congestion, coughs, and soar throats could be. The sore throat was the absolute worst.
I lost my appetite for a week as well and that was different. The benefit of that was a healthy weight loss. It made me realize that our bodies need to detox at least once a month with some kind of fast. It was miserable physically but I also was vulnerable emotionally and mentally.
I had insomnia so I had a terrible time sleeping. When you can’t sleep you have more time on your hands to think of bad thoughts. I felt uninspired, lonely, unproductive, doubtful, sad, and just a low vibration. I was disconnected from all the things that gave me joy.
The fire can only burn what is not meant to be
