New beginnings

How can I even begin to summarize the past few years? My husband deployed for a year and I was left alone with two babies. I committed to fitness and lost weight, then when he came back home we moved cross country. Once we got settled i discovered that some symptoms I had turned into a disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis. Little did I know that several distant aunts also shared the disease. I was treated with several medications, all meant to ease my pain and make life tolerable again. My body was stripped of vitality and so was my soul. Some medications made my gain weight, and now I am back to where I started several years ago. Well, the other day I saw my docotr and we discussed my health and an MRI I had done. There is no damage to my hands at all! After discussing some bloodwork findings we both agreed that I no longer have RA!!!!!!! I am now off my meds for RA and immediately began working out everyday. My diet is slowly getting better, but for now I am focusing on exercise. I feel like I have another chance at life. A huge weight has lifted from my shoulders. During the worst part of being sick, I had no energy for exercise or even interacting with others. My patience was constantly being tested by children, life and the illness. But God has given me a second chance to live. To be the person I want to be, healthy, strong and creative. To be the wife I want to be, sexy, loving and fun. And to be the mother I want to be. Energetic, patient and nurturing. I feel as though it is my duty to write to you. To give back and share this blessing and not hoard it all to myself. There IS a way out of the pain. And even if life does not go as planned, you can make it beautiful still. Maybe we are given harship sometimes so that we can treasure life even more...
