Man oh man!  Being sick with the flu is just not fun!  It puts a stop or major slow down to so many things.  But, it really makes me stop and slow down too!  Did you get that?  It requires a big huge, whooooaaaaa!  And a required attention to only the basics.  That is one way to start noticing what is most important.  It is also a way to loose some weight too.  I lost 5-6 pounds in a couple weeks!  Now, as I am getting better, the trick for me will be to BE this new person who is 5 pounds lighter and not revert to the one who was heavier.  And also to BE the person who notices what is most important in any given moment.  So, on to better health and focused attention.
