The Shot

The immune system--what a marvel to behold! When everything is working as it should, it keeps the body disease free. When the bad guys invade, just like a scene from Star Wars, the body sends all kinds of forces that destroy the enemy and even a "clean up crew" to deal with the devastation. Today, I wanted to give my immune system a "leg up" on the flu season, so I got "the shot". It was quick and easy (the Health Club where I work offers it on site), and relatively painless.

If you have ever gotten a full blown case of the flu (aches, fever, chills, nausea, etc.), you know that you would do almost anything to make it go away QUICKLY!
And that's the problem, in most cases, it won't go away quickly. You are talking 7 to 10 days of "hard time".

So I admonish you: wash your hands frequently, get plenty of rest, exercise to build up your immune system and relieve stress, take your vitamins, and please get your flu shot.

If you get sick anyway, take heart in knowing that you did everything that you could.
If you are a believer, you can rejoice knowing that one day, you will have a new, glorified body that will never get sick! Hallelujah!!
