Just a little catch up

Hi all!  Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and found some outstanding 
sales on black Friday & cyber Monday! My thanksgiving was typical for us 
only this time it involved a frozen turkey. Yep, a frozen bird! Luckily I 
showed up with a sweet potato and my own unfrozen turkey. What the hell 
you ask?!?! I had convinced the family that we would deep fry the turkey 
this year and I lugged my own so I could have it to eat and not share.
Which totally didn't happen :(
OH! And I lost my credit card so no shopping for me DOUBLE SAD FACE!!! 
Also on thanksgiving morning I ran/walked my first 5k in months.   
It felt pretty great even though I was in a lot of pain and had an 
asthma attack halfway through. I was so thankful that my girlfriend was 
there to help me and coach through it!

I wanted to give some updates on somethings.  I got the injections in my foot. 
Painful as hell only worked for about 3 days, then the pain came back tenfold. 
So still not rocking and to die for shoes! I also had to stop the Enbrel 
injection because it caused pulmonary fibrosis (irreversible scare tissue 
in the lungs making it difficult to breathe).  Also got more results
back from my upper GI - Barrett’s esophagus- that shit sounds all 
made up! I'm still learning what it is but I do know that it’s a complication 
of GERD and if it’s not treated can turn into esophageal cancer. 
Ugh!  What the hell?!?!

Peace, Love and Light to all!

I stumbled across one of my favorite poems to end my yoga class after shavasana and wanted to share it with you...

May I be well
May I be happy and content
May I be free from danger and suffering
May I be filled with loving-kindness

May you be well
May you be happy and content
May you be free from danger and suffering
May you be filled with loving-kindness

 
May all beings be well
May all beings be happy and content
May all beings be free from danger and suffering
May all beings be filled with loving-kindness

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m off to Maryland to spend time with my dad and brother thanks to my daughter who got us roped in. Bless her heart! (She wasn’t there last year to witness the extreme chaos and to see her momma on the verge of starving to death and pillaging in my purse for a leftover cashew or crumb! My fam never really remembers that I can’t eat like them.)  If you’re like ME and blessed with a family that may drive you a little batty and cause you to shake like a Chihuahua just breathe and try to embrace it!  HA!  Who am I kidding?!?!?!?  Try embracing it with a drink in your hand and crushing up some melatonin and sprinkling it on their food! 

All kidding aside, I love my family and I wouldn’t be here without them. So I am very thankful for their craziness!

Also, I want to mention that this is the start of sadness and depression for some who may be feeling lonely. Maybe you’re missing love ones that are no longer here on earth. Or maybe you’re missing someone who isn’t in your life anymore. Try not to dwell on their absence, but be thankful for your memories, the good times, the laughter, the smiles, the hugs and kisses.  XOXOXOXO

Please be safe while traveling!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others.
