Compared with yesterday I feel fantabulous this morning.  That is a good thing, a very good thing.  I was surprised at how good I felt when I woke up.  The alarm actually woke me up too, so I knew that I had slept well also.  But then my wisdom or my skepticism started in a bit.  Yes, I felt great compared with yesterday, but  I know that I am not at 100% yet.  But I can live with that.  I will keep on getting better and go through the stages that I have gone through many times before.  But I am so on my way and it does feel real good.  I can continue to deal with all of the other stuff that is challenging me.  We have so much to weigh and so many decisions to make about the serious things in our life.  It is quite a burden, but no more then anyone else has to contend with; in fact, less then many.  I was able to get back to my routine this morning (59) and I have to say that it really felt good.  Now I hope that those other 'stages' like runny nose, headache, cough, and general blahs will come and go quickly, but for now --bring it on, I am ready!
