Illness and Health

I've been fighting a cold since Christmas Eve.  Most of the time, I feel fine, but my voice comes and goes.  I'm hopeful that I am feeling better, and that it will all be gone in a few days.

One thing being sick does is highlight how nice it is to be healthy.  In general, I am not overly sick.  I have an occasional cold or headache, but in general, I don't have to deal with the allergies or medical issues many do.  It is one thing I am very thankful for.

I am aware that as I age, my health will likely gradually fade.  With age comes aches and pains and other illnesses, and I understand I need to take care of what I have now.

To that end, I am hoping to get back to a regular routine of exercise and healthy eating.  I seem to be able to do one or the other well: I am exercising or eating well, but not both.  Maybe 2011 will be the year I achieve both consistently.
