January ... thank God it's almost over

Well, it's almost the end of January. Good riddance, I say!

My mood seems to have lifted a bit but I'm still not myself. I'm not who I was in December, that's for sure.

My Ben had to have some teeth pulled and that was pretty stressful as he's older and had to be put under; always a risk but with older pets even more so. But he's doing very well, the pain meds and antibiotics are helping I'm sure. He is one tough cookie and I am grateful and relieved.

Other than that, not much new here. The only thing I can think to do is be kind and patient with myself.

I urge you to do the same.

New Year Funk

Well folks, I think I'm near the end of this cold that's had a hold on me for way too long.

Not very exciting or blog worthy but, it is what it is.

I'm not sure the black elderberry did much, but it didn't hurt, I guess. They say it should be taken at the first signs of a cold and I was well into in by the time I gave it a shot.

Other than that not much going on here except that I find myself in a funk. I didn't make any new year resolutions, so that's not it. I've read that by mid January most resolutions are out the window, but not the case here as none were made, so none were broken.

I'm exercising, eating well and life is as per usual. But something's missing ... I'm feeling kind of flat.

How about you? What's going on in your life? Can you relate?

A New Year And A Nasty Cold

Well the new year so far has been been the pits.

Can't seem to shake this nasty cold that gets ten times worse when the sun goes down.

This morning though I started taking something that according to a reliable source, should help.

Black elderberry:

Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight.

Have you tried it? Did it help you?

I'll let you know if it helps me.

Happy New Year!!!
