So, as you can see, this past week wasn’t strong. The onset of a cold, and battling the “February Blues”, resulted in a week that was lacklustre at best.

Gail and Chris teased me on Thursday when I called in “sick” and taunts like “man cold” where tossed around. Chris also went on to say that he wasn’t surprised that BIG Government (that’s me by the way, it’s one of his many nicknames for me) called in sick. Afterall, I was a government employee and I needed to have at least one sick day a month. Thank God for teasing, it makes me howl, keeps me light and is one of the main ways my family and I communicate.

Observations – Time to Change Gears

Not only was the week a tough one physically, it was a tough one mentally. Given all of that, I decided to take the weekend off and go to Toronto to see an old friend. In the end, it was the best decision I made all week. A change of scene, and reconnecting with someone with whom I had spent a lot of time with when I was young and innocent, was just what the doctor ordered.

Now I’m rejuvenated and ready for the week ahead. And you know what; it’s going to be stellar. The reason I know this is because I’m determined to make healthy and positive choices.
