I am back to my normal state of health - able to walk/jog for 5 km this morning.  Gosh, to fill the
lungs with oxygen, to pant for your breath, it's exhilarating.  It's nice to be healthy, and now I must
push myself physically, menatally - to be up and about.  Its nice to be able to play with the grandchildren,
who are all very active, and very demanding.  I am happy to be able to play with them and indulge them.
It's a nice feeling that you are contributing to the children's happiness.  And children are the most beautiful
people in the world.  Yes, when you are healthy, life feels good.  Its a beautiful world and I love every
moment living on this earth.

I was down with fever and severe coughing - and on seeing the doctor and given the prescription,
the fever was reduced but the coughing continued.  I am puzzled over this prolonged illness.  I would
have thought that I would recover fast, but apparently I was wrong.  After four days of continuous
coughing, I went to the doctor again, and given further medicines.  I am slowly now recovering,
but not fully, still very weak.  Gosh, how I really appreciate to be in good health.  I will slowly begin
my usual walk/jog again and in the evening, table-tennis with my friends. This was a week of total
inactivity.

In the MSN news portal, "100-year--old Frenchman sets 100-km cycling record"
He completed the distance in 4 hours, 17minutes and 27 seconds.  Wow!
What an achievement.  Its an inspiration.  What he has done, besides breaking
the record, to show all senior citizens that you can achieve great accomplishments
with hard work, displine and determination.
