“Dude, take a break”

It’s funny how some things stick. I had an acquaintance who sent me a text when I was sick. He said that falling ill was the universe’s way of saying – “Dude, take a break.”

I am not in touch with this acquaintance any more but I do remember this text every time I fall sick.

I thought of it today.. and I’ve done just that – taken a break. It’s a nice way to think about illness.
