Why was I absent last week?

I have been overwhelmed by diarrhea and thrush.

I didn't show up because I didn't know what to say to you.

When these illnesses eclipse us, we can't keep up with housework, relationships... life.

This creates an opportunity for shame to start telling me things about "I'm not enough."

When I am humbled once again, by being out of control. I get a chance to practice remembering that I am enough and I am not this illness.
