Spring is Coming!

We have had an unusual amount of sun this week, for the Pacific Northwest. The grass is green, there are patches of blue showing between the clouds, and the promise of new life is in the air. In more ways than one. I feel like the winter of my illness and depression is drawing to a close too, and I am filled with hope and getting stronger. I am sure that this year will be my best ever. There is even hope on the infertility front. With my health getting so much stronger, and a friend's recommendation of an affordable doctor who does reversal micro-surgery, perhaps we will be able to have biological children after all! We want to adopt too, I think adoption is such a special way for children to become part of a family, and there are so many children out there who need good families. We would like to have about 6 children, but I don't think I could be pregnant that many times, with my delicate constitution... but you never know!
I still have good days and bad days, of course, but the addition of a tiny amount of bio-identical hormones on top of the Ambrotose, glandular supplements, high-quality vitamins and herbals, and allergy elimination diet with anti-inflammation and detox shakes, has made a world of difference. Slowly but surely, the good days are outnumbering the bad days, and I am starting to have energy again and be able to get up earlier! I'm in the middle of a new-year reorganization and de-junking project, sorting through all my files and boxes of papers "to be filed", and taking load after load of stuff to donate to the thrift store. I'm making plans for the new year, dreaming up ideas for my face painting business, and planning another business to work on next year during the face painting off-season in the late fall, winter, and early spring. I want to set up an in-home studio and record Audio books! Life is good! And soon, Tim will be done with this big project and will be able to work from home more again! That will be wonderful. Well, I'd better go get busy on my filing...

Waking up after a long hibernation

I feel so good today! I seriously do feel like I've woken up after a long hibernation. Like I'm getting out of a funk. I feel like I'm bursting with energy, and there are so many thing I want to do that I don't know what to do first! The funny thing is I didn't feel this good when I woke up... but today was the first day of taking my female hormone adjustment meds. Bio-identical oral progesterone and calcium d-glucarate to lower my too-high estrogen. And all afternoon I've felt like the old me, only more so! So much energy! And the sun came out too, and I went for a nice walk down to Starbucks. I decided to work on memorizing Proverbs 3, and worked on the first two verses as I walked. Wow! This gives me hope that when the Dr. figures out my case and gets me on appropriate supplementation ALL the time, I'll feel better than ever before! I'll be able to live a productive life and get things done and not just be a hermit who hides out at home all day! Yay!
