The Beginning

What’s in a blog? So here I am… blogging!  I had thought about this for a while and decided to start this blog to keep my family and friends updated on my whereabouts :)

The name for this blog was tricky.  I came up with at least 10 different names, but decided to call it Ro’s World.  I hope you find Ro’s World to be interesting.  People say that “the first step is always the hardest”, or if you don’t know where to start, to “start at the beginning”. So this is the beginning of my blog, and here is the first post:

I rarely got the flu during my twenties.  I felt soo lucky and blessed and a bit superior to everyone else who used to get the flu every year.  Well, I’m no longer in my twenties, and I no longer feel superior… I got the flu badly two weeks ago. I think I cursed everything and everyone (which I totally regretted later).  It was the worst New Year’s in 10 years – since my dad passed away on New Year’s 2002.  I had forgotten how nasty the flu can be.  How can people get this sick every year?  A mild cold I can handle. This flu thing, I don’t think so!

After 3 days off from work, antibiotics, Tylenol Cold/Flu, Robitussin, 4 boxes of Kleenex, and lots of chicken soup and rest I feel much better.  I try to look for the good in bad situations.  So the good that came out of this was that now I know I have to get a flu shot every year. Other than that, I really do not see anything else good about it!

January for most people is equivalent to resolutions.  I guess I was too sick to think of my resolutions for this year.  However, I think that’s ok.  I’ll make my resolutions as I go along.  So far I can think of one for later in the year: to go back to NY/CT and visit family and friends. As an immediate resolution, I need to get my bu++ moving and get ready for my annual 15K run on February 23^rd.

Looking forward to this weekend’s events: Register for my 15K, a visit to my friend Viks and her new born adorable baby boy, and a girl’s night at my friend Angela’s!

Life is good!
