Did you ever wonder if Eeyore had it right?  Well I have been wondering lately.  That doom and gloom character from Winnie the Pooh, has me nailed lately. 

Let’s see where do I start?  I have been completely slammed with work, the holidays, and kid’s activities I have written very little in the last few months.  All of which has kept me out o f the pool which has very limited times I can get in anyway. 

My body has just been a complete mess lately.  My knee has finally been feeling better so when my family wanted to go skiing over the holidays I was a bit reluctant.  But once we got up there I was bored watching everyone else ski so I decided to go at least one day.  Well I made it off the mountain with my knees in great shape, but my ribs didn’t fare so well.  Yep, cracked ribs!  So there goes my swimming for about six weeks.

So my ribs are feeling a bit better after a few weeks of very restless sleep do to the pain when I lay down at night, and a few days ago I get this horrible fever and sore throat.  This will be day three so I am off to the doctor this morning. 

I tell you sometimes it feels like I am cursed when it comes to my body.  But I know that is the wrong attitude. 

“I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.  A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.” (D.H. Lawrence)

Sometimes I wonder if the bird was frozen to the bough, so he couldn’t come in from the cold! 

I think I’ll stay out of the cold and off the skis this year.
