Well this week has started off an interesting one. It seems I’ve caught the flu bug that’s been going around. (Boo) As a business owner, being sick is terribly inconvenient. I can’t simple have someone else meet with clients, answer the phone, or take people’s portraits. So I’ve sadly been forced to reschedule this week until I’m certain I’ll be fully recuperated. (The last thing I want is to share these unpleasant germs with anyone else!)

This is the first time in a long time that I have been sick though, and it’s reminded me how incredibly blessed I am. In the five years I’ve been in business, this is the first time I’ve ever had to cancel or reschedule client appointments due to being sick. I consider that quite a blessing!

It’s also served as a great reminder of how lucky I am to have my health. I can’t imagine running my own photography business if I had an illness or injury. Just taking portraits requires a great deal of mobility, flexibility, and energy. Not to mention all the other tasks that are regular parts of my job.

I was also reminded of how incredibly lucky I am to have found such a sweet man! Ryan has done a wonderful job taking care of me while I’ve been sick. He’s brought me everything I could need, went to the store and picked up sprite, gatorade and oyster crackers, and he frequently checked in on me to make sure I was okay. He even skipped out on going to a super bowl party to take care of me. I’ve taken care of myself when I’ve been sick before, but I have to say – it is nice to have someone to take care of me while I’m feeling under the weather.

That being said – I am on the mend and working to get caught back up from the few days I missed out on work. But I’m feeling quite thankful to be getting my health back and to have such wonderfully understanding clients! I hope you are all well and having a wonderful Wednesday!
