I almost forgot how lucky I am.

I've had an excellent year. The usual ups and downs,but nothing I couldn't deal with. Two days after Christmas it hit me with a big hammer.Heavy head cold and the next morning all my joints were screaming at me. Now the fourth day in bed and the pressure on my ears is causing bad balance problems. My immediate wish is to be able to get out of bed and get some fresh air into my body. Looking at the positive side, I've read three books, slept more than I can ever remember and my joints have started to behave again. It will probably be another few days before I get halfway being back to normal. Another good exercise in listening to my body and turning frustration into some positive action. A very happy New Year to all of you. I intend to make the most of it.

Sometimes a reminder that the little devil is still lurking is good, but hope that's it now and rest of 2017 is good.

[stbernhard in reply to helixhelix]

I'm sure it will be. Thank you very much. All the best for 2017.
