I awoke Friday morning really sneezing and coughing. We were to go to Keeneland for the Chamber of Commerce day at Keeneland. Claude is the president of the Chamber of Commerce so we really felt like we needed to be there. We headed out and I did my best. We made it through 6 races and then Claude graciously took me home where I collapsed on our love seat and fell asleep. Claude awoke me at bedtime and I headed to the bed. It was a very rough night.
Saturday I was taking Tylenol to stop the feverish aches and pains, drinking lots of liquid, and resting as much as I could.
This morning, Sunday, I thought I was better. Then something gripped my tummy and I knew I was in further trouble. I hurried upstairs and hurled my cookies big time. Yep, I was definitely not better.
I have spent all day Friday and Saturday laying down or catching up on my Blogs. But I have found great joy in watching General Conference (4 session) and the Priesthood Session and the rebroadcast of the General Women's Meeting. They have each provided a lift to my soul.
After each I have posted on Facebook little thoughts or phrases that caught my attention and touched my heart. The following are those Facebook posts.
Favorite phrases from the first session of
General Conference. (Saturday Morning)
1) "The joyful burden of discipleship." Elder Rasband
2) "The world will not glide comfortably to the 2nd Coming. " Elder Andersen.

Now my dear hubby is preparing me something we hope will settle on my tummy for dinner. Then we will end our evening by watching James Taylor with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Isn't it interesting that in the waste of illness we find peace to our souls and strength for our spirits.
