The Flue.

         Lately,  there has been alot of talk  on the television, and radio about the flu and the different strains that evolve each year. 

    “The H1N1.”  We are often warned  about the importance of washing our hands on a regular basis,  coughing, and sneezing into kleenexes,  to help keep the spread of our germs away from others.    And yet,  the H1N1  has been taking the lives of anyone unable to fight it off.    A vacination for this flu is not quite ready  for the everyday public, but will soon be available to everyone. 

     Our seniors, and the very young are taken care of  first, as these groups are weaker than most.   I had heard of a young twenty eight year old lady  who was unable to fight the flu off.  .  I am in my late fifties, and have had a good  journey through life.  It makes me very sad to see a young person loosing the battle against this flu.     

       The loss of lives of the young disturb me the most as this group of people, have yet to experience the wonders of life.   The chance to love, live, and learn.    I have had my chance to do these things, and am greatful for my time here on earth.

     My freinds have been sick, the sore throat,  fever, chills, aching muscles, and an all over rotten feeling.    We seem to get better, and come out just feeling okay.     But, there are others that cannot.  

     So, I must ask everyone to listen to our health notices, and we can at least slow down the spread of this life- taking flu. 

 ”Have you done your part?” 

Lets work together to beat this flu.
