This Holiday when you get together with Family and friends- remember that no family is perfect ...that you too no matter how SPECIAL will anoy someone at the dinner table. There will be people missing from that gathering because they have passed on or by choice. This may be a problem for some but look around you! Look at the ones who showed up despite what was going on in their lives- look at the children who deserve a happy memory -the ones that you hold onto in old age. You may not remember every present you received as a child - but you do remember the Family and friends , what spot the Tree belongs in- that one special dessert that must be there. If you find yourself feeling Sad or angry check it at the door- tell a story about the ones who have passed on- drink a toast and bless those who are missing no matter what the reason and CELEBRATE!!!! Christmas is about HOPE and the dawn of Redeeming Grace! I love what the Mom said in the movie the Family Stone -one of the characters in the movie who the whole family was giving a hard time to at Christmas asked ,"what makes you guys so special" She replied " we're not, we're just all we've got! This Holiday season LOVE THE ONES YOUR WITH- Peace and Love Kristine

Thank you Mary -



For me, being healed means:

Accepting myself as I am, even loving myself as I am, with whatever limitations I currently have, without giving up hope that I can improve - in both mind and body
Refusing to live in the past, and refusing to worry about the future, but instead, living for now, enjoying this time, now
Learning how to value myself for what's really important, my spirit, my kindness, how I live my life, instead of focusing on the superficialities such as weight changes, thinning hair, a missing thyroid, not having enough energy to be everything to everyone, and other imperfections
And, above all, finding within the cloud of disease, the silver lining, the positive effects that thyroid disease has had on my life.
