A bad time, yearning for better times!

It is really hard to maintain a blog when you feel no one reads, and if you do not post on a regular basis, no one reads and no one follows what you are doing and what you have to say. Knowing this falls of deaf ears and probably no ears at all, I am going to try and get back to regular postings.

The past few weeks and months have been rough and tough. After much effort into weight loss and such, I fell off the horse and have gained some back. There are many reasons but the main one is I am a weak person, just full of petty excuses. So let me name them off, get them out in the open, and then I can maybe move on and get back to me again.

I hurt my shoulder. I hurt my knee. I had to put my dog down (Dec. 9th and I miss her!). Work has been long and stressful. I guess the one single thing that really made me slow down and stop was my dog Elmo. I tried to spend every waking hour with her I could before she had to go; and when I did try and get back into it, I just wanted to be with her. Since she has gone, my shoulder does not hurt much any more (but maybe that is just in my mind?). To top everything else off, I think I had H1N1 Swine Flu last week and am suffering the residual bronchitis (for sure) and eventual pneumonia (I hope not). This has been a horrible sickness!

Come the new year, I am striving to do better and get back to what I have done; for everything not to be a total loss so to speak! I want to get back to better eating, exercise, and better habits!

This doesn't fall on deaf ears. (Or blind eyes ... or whatever.)

To me, loss of any kind is a huge energy suck. It takes energy to do things that involve taking care of yourself. Sometimes all a person can do is tread water.

Hang in there--I love you, my brother!

No, your blogging does not go unnoticed. It is funny how we think that we are alone out here but somehow, there is someone else who is on a similar journey. It will get better and you will get back on track. We have to put the falls behind us and keep looking up! We are here with you!! God Bless You this NEW Year!!
