I am so sorry to be writing late. I was having computer troubles on the night of the 24th which was the night that i finally settled down with myself to sit and think of something to say. In th end, it was something silly I should have figured out for myself and didn't.
Well, I hope everyone's holiday has been amazing and will continue to be. I also want to take a moment to wish everyone more than anything health in the new year. As my mother used to say, there is nothing without your health. And, how correct she is. But, I suppose we could also say that about many things....children, spouses, the love of family, protection, shelter, etc... Most of us are very blessed.
This is such a magical and sacred time of year no matter your religion. I think it is such a wonderful time for self reflection and reflection upon so many things going on in the world. I was thinking we do our best to bestow many acts of kindness in action or gift to those we love, how impactful it would be if we did one thing for someone in need. Most of us do already. But, maybe in addition to giving money or donating a present to a kid at a holiday party, doing something like buying a blanket and dropping it off to someone who is homeless, or making some food and dropping it off to someone on the street. I know where many of you live you may not have the homeless situtaion that we have here in LA where it is so bad. But, this was something I had planned this season for myself. That one to one giving human to human can be really intense in a good way and can make a big difference in someone else's life.
Anyway, I wish for each of you light, love, peace in your hearts and HEALTH! Remember, health is an evolution, it is not a place you land one day. It is not something that comes with one magical dose of something. It is something that is cultivated and hard won. It is a day by day, week, by week, month by month evolution of yourself. And each day that passes is you-getting better and wiser, not getting older:) To me life and health is how you manage your way through things, and it is homeodynamic not homoestatic-just as our internal envirmonments are.
So, every day, be the best you can be and make the most of each of your days as the accumulation of yourself- your spirit and your health!
Happy Happy Happy!

Thank you for this post! It
Thank you for this post! It is so hard to find happiness when you feel such sadness and daily defeat. I totally agree what has really helped me through my darkest days has been the opportunity I have had to give back just a small amount of my time each week to bring a smile to a child's face. A wonderful group of girls who would have never had the opportunity to be a part of such a special group. They absolutely warm my heart and have tought me so much about the fighting spirit to overcome all obstacles. Thank you Dr. M for giving so much of yourself each and everyday!
I was just about to write
I was just about to write something in the forum in regards to warm wishes and good health to all and then I read your blog!! You covered it all and then some. I have learned so much more than I ever thought I would these past 7 months in treatment. I have learned how to feed my body to not only stay alive but to begin the healing process. I have come to understand many people suffer and struggle in life with daily pain, sorrow, mental anguish. I have become much more sensitive towards others who are struggling. I have come to realize because of my spiritual growth I am stronger than I ever realized. I can have life even with an autoimmune disease. Maybe not exactly the life I thought I wanted but a life God can use HIS way. I have met two incredibly loving and caring doctors and a group of amazing men and women all over the world that share an illness that most arent even aware of but they fight for their health back everyday with such vigor I can't help but be impressed!!! I actually have arrived at a place through all this that I thank God for my IC. I can now embrace it because while it no longer defines me it has pushed me to really dig into my soul and try to better myself from deep within. I am so grateful for all of you and most of all our doctors. I pray daily for their success in treating us all and for their capability to reach many others in need. I appreciate how hard thet word to achieve this goal. I pray for all my new friend on the forum. What a beautiful TOUGH group!!! You are the bomb!!! Prayers for continued healing in 2015. Love ya'll. (i'm from the south) :)
Beautiful CP and Patty! Love
Beautiful CP and Patty! Love and a blessed New Year to you both and all the ICAMA family!
