Happiness comes in all shapes & sizes

Happiness comes in all shapes & sizes. Look at this little cuddle bug! Couldn't live without him. 

Sometimes life surprises you. Right when you find yourself on the verge of giving up, everything suddenly comes together. I swear, in the blink of an eye. Just when you think it's over, the end is suddenly nowhere near. The sky opens up and the sun shines through. The grass looks greener! The clouds look fluffier! The air feels cleaner! Life is brighter!

I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now. That last appointment I blogged about was about as successful as skydiving without a parachute... THIS appointment however, was absolutely positively 100% entirely WONDERFUL!!!!! 

☑Everything that needed to be addressed was addressed. 
☑My hard work on the SCD diet was acknowledged and appreciated. 
☑He KNEW about the diet.
☑All the health jargon I've learned over the past two years allowed me to have a real conversation with the doctor. 
☑All the necessary supplements were identified and listed out for me to understand.
☑The doctor listened to everything I had to say and understood that I'm in this to win it. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be healthy and lead a happy life. 
☑He said there's no doubt in his mind that I will in fact be FEELING BETTER!!!!!!!!! 

I say this with every ounce of love from the very bottom of my heart. I've been on this journey alone and for the first time in a long time, I don't feel alone anymore. To the Casey Health Institute, I would like to say THANK YOU! I will love you and your team for the rest of my life. You've given me the one thing I've been lacking: HOPE.
