Confession ...

So I have a confession to make ... I did a bit of an experiment recently. I changed my supplement regime as a test ... I went off of all the supplements I have been on & that has made me feel so good. I just wanted to see if it was all in my head or not! ... I have been told that it is "all in my head" a time or two by people who I love. Less then 2 weeks in, I was noticing a change in my energy level ... decreased energy. 4 weeks in ... energy was NOT good ... was feeling like I needed a nap in the day again. Week 5 ... not able to make it through the day without a nap! EXAUSTION couldn't describe how I was feeling! My kids even noticed & were commenting to me about it!
I have been back on everything for the past 5 weeks ... My energy was significantly improved by week 2 (2 weeks seems to be my magic number) ... at 4 weeks I was feeling myself ... feeling GREAT! I told my husband the other night that I feel like I have accomplished more in the last 2 weeks then I have in the last two months!

To not have your health & then have it back again is AMAZING! Feeling good starts to feel like a new "normal" ... it was interesting for me to experience not having my health again ... I don't think I will ever forget or take for granted what it truly means to have my health, to FEEL GOOD! ... having good health allows me to truly LIVE my life!

Each day I want to choose to engage in my life, to be an active participant! I want to enjoy the moments life brings, both good & bad, knowing that they are the things that will mold me into the person God wants me to be. It is a difficult task for me to chose to live life this way ... I am the type of person that likes to control things, I like security ... the known. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for me, life isn't that way & the sooner I chose to embrace that fact, rather then dig in my heels & try to make it my way, the sooner I will learn to LIVE life & just BE!
