Health & Graditude

So I started some naturopathic health options because of course according to my regular doctor all of these things I am experiencing don't show up in a blood test, pee test, ya da ya da, your fine, this is what happens at your age.  I am in week one and what a difference already ... the brain fog is reduced and I have alot more energy. Although I still haven't got mightybell going, I am going to get Mel to help me set it up via my desktop ... wish me luck!  Back to the original topic, so apparently I am suffering from stress, a poorly performing thyroid, and hormones.  At this point we are dealing with the stress and thyroid, the stress not a suprise (between Mel being sick and then my mom being sick its been a rough couple of years) although the degree of the lack of performance from my adrenal system was a bit of a shock.  So no coffee, no wine, to bed by 10, an afternoon nap (not happening so far), no extreme exercise (not happening so far), limit social events (I would love too).  Apparently my body can't distinguish between good and bad stress and my overworked adrenal system has just given up ... thats why I feel exhausted all the time and everything seems to be hugely overwhelming and complicated.  In addition there are tintures and supplements that I doubted would make a difference but so far are making a huge difference. 

Graditude
for alternative health options
for sundogs, I know they only happen when its REALLY cold but wow are they beautiful
for my awesome children and husband
for the great and supportive people that I work with
for the great and supportive people that I study Kung Fu with

for the 9 days left of christmas shopping (I've barely started)

Frustrated with constantly changing technology

So I have two posts to put up ...

Post #2 December 8/16  got a new google account for our new company gmail accounts which works great but messed up the settings on my desktop and I have been trying to reconnect to the silent river google plus stuff with no success until today.  Couldn't remember which password was for which and now my desktop loads the company google plus and not the I Ho Chuan one had to reset everything ... Ack!!  Still haven't figured out the mightybell stuff because I need time to play with it and I am trying to coordinate parent care and work and renovations and it has all been a little much.   There is a reason I prefer to journal on paper ... the worst thing that happens is that I have to find a pen.  The best operating system that Windows ever put out is still 98 ... it never crashed!  Very old school here!  So I am sorry that you haven't heard from me for the past two weeks. I will attempt to get the link to mightybell tomorrow ... wish me luck.

Post #1 November 30/16  had a great time at the Festival of the Trees performance and its days like that make you really feel like a part of a great team ... we pulled everything off really well and I think we can all be proud of the effort and the results that were visible that day.  I bet the pictures in the sleigh with the dragon look great and hope we can put them up on the screen at the school.  Due to my moms' health situation I have been struggling to keep up with the numbers even on my form reps which are usually really good and rarely behind.  Just when I think I am kicking butt something comes along to trip me up ... ah such is life!
