Do you have what you want in life?



Sometimes some of us have more than a  million things going on at a time.  That you do not stop and take some time to enjoy what you have.  You have life, a purpose, family, friends, maybe a pet?  You have an emotional attachment to something or someone other than you.  But do you actually value and cherish them? When  things are going good in life we don't think of how lucky or blessed we are.  We seem to put the good in the back of our heads and not appreciate it.  Because we believe that we deserve the best and the best should get better with time (just like wine. lol)  But it doesn't always get better, or you may not have the time for it to get better.  We don't think of what we have most of the time until we lose it. We don't think of how mush some one meant to us until they pass away.  Or how much you really liked something until it breaks.  Even though they were there every day before, they were not part of your conscious until they were gone. So I encourage you all today to be more aware, take a moment and see how good your life is.  If you feel like there is nothing good at this moment ask some one.  I had to do that when I was depressed, even though I have a wonderful husband, 3 amazing kids we both had stable jobs a big home a cat and a dog.  I mean it was almost like a picture perfect life!  I could not think of one good thing in my life, because depression did not let me see it.  So I asked my husband what is something good in my life.  Yes the question hurt him!  But he knew what I was dealing with at that time.  I was having a lot of health issues with my skeletal system and my vision.  There were days I was not able to walk, or to see.  I felt like there was no point to keep pushing for  a better tomorrow when I wouldn't be able to see it or enjoy it.  But all my husband said was your alive.  My therapist and husband then suggested to write down 3 good things about my day every night.  It was so hard at the beginning.  I could not come up with 3 things and it would frustrate me.  Three things are not a lot, but at that dark moment in my life it seemed like an eternal list.   I still write my feelings ones in a while, I still check with myself on how I am really feeling.  I still get depressed at times when I don't know how am I going to keep pushing forward.  But I am a lot more aware, I cut off things in my life that I enjoyed like volunteering.  To enjoy the moments with family and friends.  Also to be able to have time for me!!! Give your self some time, and let me know at least one thing you are happy/thankful for?

11 Day Migraine

Hi Welcome back to my life! I hope you all had a great weekend.  I actually did, it was my son's birthday weekend.  My oldest turned 7.  It was a very nice weekend for the most part.  I can't remember most of it to be quite honest, no I was not drunk or on any un-prescribed drugs.  I have been dealing with a migraine sense August 12th.  I don't think anybody that came over my house noticed much of a difference I was talking and trying my best to act normal.  There were moments I would zone out and had no idea what was going on but for the most part I pushed through.  It started August 12th as we were at the park catching pokemons. lol Yes we play Pokemon Go.  My husband got me hooked on that game.  I started feeling some vertigo and a mild migraine nothing major.  I took my meds and didn't think much of it.  The next day I felt worse. I felt like I couldn't get out of bed.  The light bothered me, the noise I just did...

MTHFR Mutation and me!

MTHFR is a DNA mutation that is not commonly checked on a regular check up or regular blood work.  But thankfully this year (2018) thanks to my new and wonderful Neurologist she suggested I saw a Hematologist.  He ran 18 tubes of blood and multiple test I had never had done before.  There I was told it seemed like I had a mutation on MTHFR.  But requested for all the lab work to be done again to make sure it was correct and come back in a month.  The labs take about 3 weeks to be processed.  At at that point I found some relief but also fear.  I had no idea what I was dealing with I got a packed of information with the title:   Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase catalyzes Mutation. The title it self freaked me out!!  But I did as much research as I could in that month.  It seems as if this condition was just discovered in 2006. So there is no cure for it, not a lot of information either but the Doctors are just treating the symptom...

Pho Feel'n Asian

Pho Feel'n Asian has opened its doors in Gastonia NC.  If you want to try great pho and some authentic Asian cuisine give this local restaurant a try.  The pho had amazing flavor and variety.  My husband had the meat, I tried the tofu.  Ones I started eating it there was no way I could stop, even after I was full.  I also tried their iced coffee and it was one of the best coffee's I have had in the Gastonia area.  On top of their great food, the staff was very friendly and kind.  I went with my three children (7, 6 and 4 year old.)  They were very patient, friendly and helpful with the kids.  They don't have a kids menu but many of the Gastonia restaurants don't seem to have one. Yet it is family friendly and from a price point is also very affordable.  I do recommend it, whether you have tried pho before or not.  Go support a family owned local business and see the community around you grow!
