Yesterday morning when I woke up I could tell I was starting to feel a little sick but I had so much going on yesterday that I tried to ignore it and I was able to get through hosting my son\u2019s big event at our house Sunday night. Then I woke up this morning and there was no denying that I had come down with a major sinus cold. My problem was that I had a crazy packed day that included a lunch meeting with three U.S. Governors \u2013 Utah Governor Gary Herbert, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez. Then I had an important meeting at my office and then I needed to rush home in time to host a birthday party for a good friend and around 50 other guests. Not to mention my son and his wife and their college friends come over every Monday night for the weekly Bachelor viewing party at our house. So yeah\u2026there was just\u00a0NO TIME to be sick today!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s interesting though because as horrible as I have been feeling all day today with my sinus cold I literally just pushed through it and tried to pretend I wasn\u2019t sick and somehow it worked enough to get me through the day and handle everything I needed to get done magically well.<\/p>\n
“Your mind will quit a thousand times before your body will.”\u00a0 “Be mentally stronger than you physically feel.”<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s close to midnight now and everyone has finally cleared out of my house. And the truth is that as I sit down to write my blog I feel so incredibly sick that I want to curl up in a little ball and drink an entire bottle of Nyquil\u2026my fever has skyrocketed off the charts and I have the chills and I ache all over\u2026but as I sit here and reflect on my day I have to admit that I am in total awe I was able to push through my day by literally just pushing through it. That and saying a little prayer that I could handle everything I needed to in spite of being sick. It was sheer mind over matter and a touch of faith that got me through today.<\/p>\n Some days you got just push through it. You CAN do it. And then when your day is done you can reward yourself with a shot of Nyquil, which is exactly what I am going to do right this minute!<\/p>\n Have a great day everyone!<\/p>\n ~Amy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday morning when I woke up I could tell I was starting to feel a little sick but I had so much going on yesterday that I tried to ignore it and I was able to get through hosting my son\u2019s big event at our house Sunday night.
