My first days of the New Year were not too happy

The last few days were not very good for me.
A close nephew, who works in Qatar , is in the hospital after suffering a stroke. He is paralyzed and is unable to eat or drink by himself. Only silver lining in this case is that he was in ICU for about a month. But now he has been transferred to the general ward.
On the 31st December night I returned home from the church at about 11. Hit by the cold winter wind I had fever and bodyache. In the morning I took a pil of paracetamol and prepared to go for the morning. Mass. I am the choir master and without me the singers feel orphaned .
Worst of all there was a governing board meeting in which the lady secretary was extremely rude to my wife, indirectly also being rude to me. We had to drink the hemlock cup patiently but we trust in God and we believe at the end we will come out winners and more blessed than before.
I firmly hope, these sad days will pass away soon and happy times will return.

Praying for fast recovery of your nephew.
Why was the lady secretary rude to your wife? Any specific reason?

Not a great start to the year .Feel sorry for your cousin. Hopefully he will recover well. Guess you got sick due to the weather and cold conditions. That ideally should be away in a week. Regarding the hoverning body meeting , there are people who are not very welcoming and who would like to show off. Do not be bothered. There will be opportunities to get things even. There are some things in our control , work on those and get it to be successful and some are not in our control and we can only pray and believe things will work. The year may have started not in a great fashion , but definitely you could end the year in a great fashion. Good Luck!
