I haven't left my apartment in almost 24 hours. I have been running a low grade fever, which got up to an even 100.0 at its peak according to my digital Spongebob thermometer. My body aches like I ran a marathon and my throat is more ticklish than an elmo doll. So, while I have been wallowing in self pity and enjoying my sweet roommates and friends making me herbal tea and bringing me soup, I have stumbled across a few fetching finds in the world of the internet. Enjoy!
1. The Catholic Pick-up Line Song
2. Pumpkin swirl brownies! As much as I despise weather cooler than 70 degrees, I do love the new flavors that changing seasons bring!
3. One of the small pleasures I allow myself as a college student going to school 4 hours away from home is keeping all my programmed radio stations on their original settings. When I am at school, I must "seek" out my radio stations. That way, when I come home 2 or 3 times a year, I experience this.
4. In this modern culture that doesn't value life, Catholics have been accused of only caring about life inside the womb. While it is true, we Catholics love little tiny humans, we also love the larger, older ones. Here is a celebration of long-lived life in photos.
5. Maybe it's my fever, but I am convinced that this is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
Before I go, I will leave you with this quote from "The Way" by Josemaria Escriva in his chapter on Tribulations (which I am glancing over because I view a low grade fever as a tribulation).
"If you accept tribulation with a faint heart, you lose your joy and your peace, and you run the risk of not deriving any spiritual profit from that trial." n. 696
