When Your Body is Not Having it
Post-Gazzette

When your throat feels like sand paper or your stomach hates you, how will you spend your time?

1. Sleep

You need to get as much sleep as possible. A lot of the time exhaustion is what causes you to get sick in the first place.

2. Drink lots of fluids.

You need to consume lots of water to keep your body hydrated. Drinking juice is a great way to get some vitamin C as well.

3. Take your meds.

You need to take your medicine until it is all gone. Do not stop taking it until you finish it.

4, Have a trashcan.

Have a trashcan nearby in case you get sick or to deposit your never ending amount of used tissues.


If you can not sleep.......

5. Read your Bible.

This is a great time to spend some intentional time with God reading His word.

6. Do homework.

I know, I know, but it needs to get done.

7. Watch Netflix.

Catch up on your favorite tv series or watch a movie.


8. Read a book.

If you have a massive headache, read a book for the millionth time or that you have not read before.

Here are some reminders of what you can do on a sick day to make it as pleasant as possible.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
