Capturing the moments and memories....

A couple of weeks ago my mom mentioned that she wished she would have printed my blog.  She said she thought it would be a great thing for my kids to read and even for me to revisit to see how far things have come. I haven't thought about these entries for a long time.  I haven't thought about my myositis in a long time.  My mom planted a seed and this morning it bloomed. I found it.  I found my blog on December 31st and I don't think that was an accident.  I think it a door opening back up.  A place to capture my life and the moments that will become our memories.

A quick update on my myositis.  I still take my meds everyday.  A low dose of prednisone, recently reduced cellcept and plaqunel continue to be the winning combination for me.  I still have blood work done every three months with follow up visits with my rheumatologist.  
As I bid farewell to 2017 and welcome in 2018 I want to focus on being well.  The absolute truth is that I want the scale to report a lower number.  I want my clothes to be a smaller size. I want energy and enthusiasm for life and the vocations in which I have been called to serve.  I want to be free of clutter.  I want to be organized and have meals planned and exercise scheduled.  I want to be great role model for Emma and Jacob.
Not sure what will come of future posts.  What I hope they will reflect is the love I have for my husband, my children, my family and friends and the faith I have in my heavenly Father to guide my ways.
