It's Groundhog's Day over here in NJ as I wake up each morning to the doom and gloom of global warming's constant grey. Wake up, take meds, stretch, take meds, take meds, take meds, go to the doctor, take meds, sleep, wake up and do it over again with no real results, which is highly difficult for a girl who is goal-oriented and used to have no limits. I'm coming toward the end of my run with prednisone and some duplicate bloodwork to see what's what in this bod of mine, and I must say, the waiting sucks...this is when I have the most difficulty coping. In my life, I've set goals, constantly worked toward them, and attained them rather effortlessly, but this game has a different name (one that I don't care for). Just another lesson in learning to cope with life and its ups and downs. Thankfully, my super awesome support system has been lifting me up :-)
Above is the picture of a lovely, unique, and very "me" ring that my fiance gave me to say "thank you for supporting me through this tough time," which I totally love and am so grateful for. I don't need a gift to support him, but it sure was an awesome gesture <3

Hang in there! Hopelessness is THE WORST because by it's very definition you feel like nothing will ever change. It is terrifying.
Life will always change, though not always for the better. Just know that there is balance in the system at all times. When you're down it's harder to see that balance, or you might have to wait for it, but change for the better WILL eventually happen.
Pretty ring! Nothing cheers me up like a new ring. I can always tell just how low I'm feeling by how often I go ring shopping ;)
Aww what a beautiful ring! I'm glad you have a little token of his appreciation and his love for you during this difficult time.
Continue to have your great spirit - it's what makes you who you are. You're fabulous!
Hey Maria, even when things are getting hideously boring and repetitive, your attitude still inspires me! I have been feeling the drag lately too, I'm finding one good day is equating to two or three of extra pain and rest...it's such a frustrating pace! I'm dying to move forward and try and achieve something creative, but getting bogged down in the practical necessities of life...sigh, this too shall pass ;)
I'm sorry to hear that u have to wait for news right now. I hope it all works out =)
That's a beautiful ring!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day (I'm slow in responding these days!).
You have a very inspirational blog - well, YOU are inspiring! I plan on coming back more often to keep up with you. Take care.
Hi Maria,
It is great to see an update even though waiting can be very hard. Take it easy and take care of yourself. I am thinking about you.
