Halloween Twenty Third

I've decided to leave yesterday's blog as an abandoned draft. Sometimes I need to do that to grow from what I've written. It wasn't very nice. It was a whole lotta me being unhappy with work and feeling stuck. I have come to terms with the fact that I can't change it. I can't magically take the stress away and return my happy work family to a time before so much discontent. I believe that while each one of us does contain the power to change things if we so wish, there are some things we cannot change. Those that fail to bend usually break. Work is broken. It's toxic and I cannot be part of the redeeming forces that may or may not eventually bring back the bend that is so necessary to excel in anything. 

Moving on now...

I had another amazing day today for two reasons. One reason being that I had a follow up appointment with my new OBGYN. My bloodwork is all great (normal). No thyroid problems! Normal blood sugar. No more low potassium. I think my low carb stint also had a great effect on my cholesterol and it's looked better than it has in years! My weight has also stayed the same for the last month. I haven't lost any more weight, nor had the vacation gain I thought I was going to have. I also had the first exam in as long as I remember that didn't send me into a horrible pain spell! That was probably the main reason I was so nervous and also why I had put off this exam for over a year. 

My day was also amazing because I had another great day helping out at the kids' school. I was the PE helper today and I got to run around with my son's class for a little bit as well as help out with some anatomy lessons with my daughter's class and a few others. These kids have a great PE coach and they really are getting out of PE what they are meant to be getting out of it. It's not just a time to let the kids run off some energy, believe it or not. You know, they're teaching our future doctors, nurses, teachers, athletes, etc, here! I believe it's important to teach kids anatomy, nutrition and the value of being on a team as well was leadership. They get that out of PE, and more too! Schools need to stop cutting this important class!

My day was full, but I end it with my heart being full as well. I'm ready to take on the rest of the week. I just may need a little extra coffee to get that done.
