Very close to 2010 now. Last January I would have taken bets on not reaching this point in my life. Its been a long slog but thanks to my friends and my supportive boyfriend, himself positive, I made it. I feel good. I am not sick. I am not weak. I am not sad. I walk about and look good. But my mind is always thinking about this condition. One day it will take me by surprise and disable me.
This time last year the churches in Zimbabwe were publicly praying for Mugabe's death. This time last year it looked like Zimbabwe was in the grip of Cholera and HIV and the whole country was weak and on its death bed. Today Zimbabwe is breathing again and sometimes taking a walk outside. Mugabe is still alive. Younger leaders are pretending to rule with him.
I am alive too and I can go out and smell the sea and walk on the beach in the blazing sun.
For now I try to be positive. Happy New Year to all of you. See you in 2010.

please post some more. yu got one fan. am negative, but failing to have kids eat me, one day i will try it out
Leonard, Thanks. You do not have to have your own natural children. There are millions of children requiring parents on this earth. Get a few and give them a father. Some of them will not last very long so the few years you show them how to have a father means a lot to them. I thank you.
I am negative. However you sound so positive and hopeful. I admire your courage and your directness
