One month in to 2010

Where does time go so fast.  It seems like yesterday that It was 1976 and I was 11.  And yet it is another lifetime at the same time.  I am one month positive this year.  I have only had a couple of melt downs, but the meltdowns have not let me slip into depression.  I am hanging on to my joy.  A year or so ago I was grateful for no pain in my body, well it has hit.  I don't think it is nerve pain at this time, however my back constantly hurts.  It is rare that I feel no pain.  I feel the best after going swimming, but then I have to deal with the effects chlorine has on my sinuses and skin.  Yucky.  And when I swim, I swear I get sick afterwards.  Every time I start!  In any case I will still swim.  I am trying to stay strong.  I was great before winter break, and then I got lazy.  Today I am lazy too.  I am going to exercise anyway.  I am tired today.  I am happy today.  I miss my husband today.  He is out of town working for 4 days.  I have plenty to do and it is peaceful here at home.
