ok, ok, heres the deal

OK, OK, heres the deal... 

Ive been down, depressed, blue, feeling sorry for myself and frustrated with life.

Ive been angry and mad.

 I miss teaching and all my friends there.

These past couple of months have been hard and draining.

 But I am trying.

OR at least I think I am trying.

These past few weeks I have REALLY been trying. 

I want to enjoy life. 

I want to like who I am.

 I want to feel as healthy as I can. 

I want to feel creative and artistic again. 

I want to find Mandy and be Mandy. 

Im sick of being sick.

I despise Rheumatoid Arthritis.

I hate Addison's Disease.

I am worn out form the constant "other Issues."

So, here we go... 

Im not going to give up...

I am going to continue on

One

foot

in 

front

of 

the

other.

Here's whats been accomplished this past few weeks to help make some changes in my life...

- I took down the little gate to my front yard so I am forced to take my dogs outside for walks.

- joined a Arthritis & Fibromyalgia Water Class twice a week

- I got my parents old tandem bike totally fixed and tuned up and am having friends go for rides with me

- I signed up for the Arthritis Walk and my goal is to walk the One mile.

- Going to Occupational Therapy and really working on my hand recovery
