For the past couple weeks, nearly everybody i would come in contact day after day would ask me how I’m feeling, simply because I have been sick off and on for the past month.  The АПТЕКА (pharmacy) has taken more of my budget than I would have liked, and I’ve learned that you can’t expect to find the same medicine from store to store. (Sunday, I went to 4 different АПТЕКА to find one specific medicine).

Here’s a little view of the things that i have tried. Everyone will offer you a completely different solution to help remedy your ailments.

Well, that one “gripex” was the solution, along with gargling salt water, (or maybe it was simply time, sleep and water).  But the truth is every day I have been feeling a little better.  this morning is the first in over a week where i woke up without a coughing fit in the middle of the night!

When I’m asked how do you feel, my response has usually been “better than i did yesterday.”  But perhaps I should answer the way i once heard a pastor respond “better than i deserve”.  This is a major worldview change, isn’t it?  When my eyes are taken off of my immediate circumstances to see the bigger picture, suddenly my attitude is corrected a little bit, and a cough isn’t a big deal…

Are you helping others look at the big picture or the circumstances of your life?
