When Mom is Down

Recently, I began a round of antibiotics that produced terrible side effects. Without being explicitly gross, let's just say that the water bill at my house will be tripled this month. With absolutely no energy and no desire to move from the reclining position, my household is struggling to maintain some sort of normalcy.

I have had a number of health issues over the years that have been set-backs in my life - and I haven't focused on my health - especially with exercise. Since the day that I had to stop running because of 'wrecked' knees, I never started anything else. I gave up. My mother told me that not paying attention to the signs and signals that my body gave me - would eventually come back to haunt me - and it has.

But I am absolutely determined to focus on my health this year. I may start small - with stretching - but I have to start. At 41, I cannot wait any longer - and neither can my boys.
