It would seem that it is more blessed to be sick, with friends, than to be in good health and alone. I have always thought that it is wiser to isolate yourself if you are sick than to expose yourself to others who might catch it. But I guess maybe there is another wisdom that could apply.

I know a group of friends at church who would rather be all sick and miserable together because they are sick yet happy because they are together than to stay in the solitary confinement quarantining themselves and be miserable and sick and alone.

Maybe it is this carefree spirit of togetherness and selflessness in the sense that they would rather be with each other than alone and that they don't mind catching a cold from a sick friend that makes them so insanely fun to be with.

I absolutely love hanging out with them, and just seeing them all makes me smile. :)
