Did you get your flu shot yet?

So as you guys know, Promissa had a pretty hectic weekend in Boston this past week, three shows, video tapings, radio interviews, rehearsals, and so on, so forth.  And don't get me wrong... WE LOVE IT! This is what we breathe!  But as you know, if you're not on top of it, your health can suffer after such an activity load.  Well, I'm experiencing that right now.  Yes, ya'll I got the FLU.

After my very intensive P90X workout routine, and everything else on my plate (please reference my "Like a Chicken w/out a head" blog from last week) and a very, very active weekend, my body has decided that it's time for some much needed REST.

The funny thing is that before I even got the diagnosis, I was on the phone with the girls sharing my symptoms and the first thing Cynthia asked (being a mom and all) was "Milca, did you get your flu shot?".
"Ohhh nooo!  I always forget! I replied".

You see, we have tools and resources available to us that allow us to PREVENT things from happening to us.  In some cases those tools can be people, books, prayer or like this case vaccines.

Let's be preventive and not reactive when it has to do with our bodies, emotions, spirituality, relationships, and the list goes on and on.  Lord knows, I wouldn't be in my ugly flu sweats and sox with a box of tissues if I had thought about it this way before.

So, use the resources around you that will allow you to live a fuller life today and in the future!

Sniff Sniff, peace!

Milca

ps - By the way, "Get my flu shot" has officially become an event in my iphone calendar.
