Happy Friday

You know it's going to be a good day when you are sitting on the exam table at the Endocrinologist's office, waiting for the Doctor, and all of a sudden Michael Jackson starts playing through the speakers on the computer next to you.  Add to this the fact that it's Friday and the sun has finally come out after two days of nonstop rain, and you are being set up for a great weekend.

I went to see Dr. Bourne  before work this morning and had a good appointment.  My TSH is at 0.74 which is pretty much right where it needs to be.  My Vitamin D is good and the B12 is better, but not where it needs to be.  So that means three more months of B12 injections for this little red head.  I'm still feeling a bit symptomatic, but it could very well be due to my body adjusting from surgery.  I really need to work on getting to bed earlier, and I am planning on doing another Isagenix nutritional cleanse soon, so those things should help.  Dr. Bourne told me that the dry skin will take a while to calm down and get back to normal.  Hopefully the warmer weather will help as the humidity levels increase.

I am really looking forward to getting back to feeling like my normal, hormone-stable self.  The second half of 2010 was chock full of blessings (Jaxon and Bear were born, surgery showed that I don't have cancer, and then I met the love of my life [thanks, Emily and Jan!]), and I know that 2011 is the first year of the rest and best of my life.  I am so grateful for my nephews, they radiate so much joy.  And as for Jeff, to quote Dave Barnes, "there's more here than what we're feeling... a Divine conspiracy."  He makes me smile 'til my cheeks hurt and laugh until I can't breathe.  He is becoming the best friend beyond what I could ask for, and when we are together, I am home.  I can't imagine life without him, nor without the people who have become a part of my life because of him.  I am also extremely blessed by the wonderful ladies in the Women's Bible Study I was invited to join last year.  I would not have been able to keep a positive outlook on many things without you girls!

The future holds so much and there is potential for many great things to come.  I am learning how it feels to be truly happy and spiritually fulfilled and I pray that I can carry this positivity to all aspects of my life.  To whomever may be reading this, thanks for joining me on the journey.
