Elated

This morning I woke up giddy.

I'm in the fifth week of the Autoimmune Health Reset, &

yesterday's homework was to fill out an inflammation assessment like 

 I did at the start of the program.

Then compare the two.

It could be interesting?

It wasn't. 

It was mind blowing!

Here is the list of systems assessed....

and then my totals.

Beginning...and now.

Brain & nervous system: 12 - 7

Digestive system: 9 - 6

Detoxification system: 8 - 2

Blood sugar/ insulin system: 15 - 9

Hormonal (endocrine) system: 8 - 3

Musculoskeletal system: 16 - 9

Autoimmunity 10 - 3

I. Was. Elated.

Ultimately they like to see  scores at a 5 or lower.

This makes me happy.

Yay me !!! 

More happy things from today....

Following that inner pull to participate in this program

with Dr. Will Cole and his team.

The bird perched on the feeder as I went to fill it, &

giving it some light strokes 

before it flew off.

Sitting in the sunshine streaming through the windows.

Seven pages written in my morning journal,

while Polly lay purring on my lap.

My neighbor Otis frolicking in the snow,

his big ol' floppy eared head plowing under and resurfacing with mouthfuls

of the white fluffy goodness.

The green flag to reintroduce a few fruits...

& caffeine. Limit one cup a day of each.

I can have Coffee !!!!!! 

*happy dance*

I haven't had either yet.

 I am waiting for a compliant/toxic free

coffee ordered from Amazon. 

And the fruit? I'll wait.

I know me. 

Once I start sweets...I want more sweets.

Even if it's fruit.

 I'm taking more time.

I have come too far to botch it up.

Hubby offering to be my uber driver to go to the Chiropractor this afternoon.

(the roads are fine, but how could I resist?)

Hitting the 1040 day mark on my Duolingo Spanish.

Four months of meditating for 10 min. in the morning.

Listening to a really good podcast...

while decluttering a closet.

The right messages at the right time.

Feeling encouraged, hopeful, and empowered.

Purple & white flowers blooming on my indoor plants.

 Some journal notes and quotes....

Learn to live from your true center.

'When your Spirit is controlling your thinking &

behavior, you feel more alive, more real, more content.'

The desire to control can sabotage you.

God's will may appear to be anything but perfect. 

Trust Him.

Even if you don't understand.

Be miracle minded.

" Think of life as a canvas. Every time you draw on it,

you are creating.

You can  use your time aimlessly doodling,

or you can go after what you feel compelled to do.

You can begin to draw a masterpiece one stroke at a time.

you can start right where you are.

Make the stroke you do today a good one,

an intentional one."

You can own your power to choose the path that is right for you.

live well & in peace...

xoxo
