So far I am doing well with my Lentin promise! And... very proud of myself. I have found me active thinking ... (yep, that is a good thing); before saying anything regarding how I feel as a result of AI. But, I am also finding that by doing so it is actually giving my mind other things to think of (whereas I thought the opposite would be true)! Big smiley face! 
I will, however, have to "spread the word" today, as it is again, Appointment Day... this time though, it is a 45 minute extended appointment to lay it all out on the line with this provider, as I do not feel he is active, proactive, or much involved in MY case. (Simply put, I am not your run-of-the-mill runny nose and cough kinda gal). So... I am certain God will understand my "why" today.
I do want to give a shout-out to all my supporters ...
My Cafemom'ers... 
who I could NOT live without!
My P2P'ers... who are wonderful! 
And.. as always my Husband, Dan and my family....
I love you all!
Forty days of Lent begins today. I pondered the question; "What am I willing to give up for Lent?"... I wanted it to be real, to be honest, to be sincere, and to be worthy (especially worthy for the Easter season and the meaning).
Then it came to me; I cannot "give up" my Auto Immune "issues" but I CAN give up the complaints from how I feel, and begin to positively reach out to others feeling the same way!
YES, that is it... for 40 days and 40 nights I vow to not "complain" about how I feel because of my illness, but to make positive the choice to encourage others!
For the last three days I have hardly been able to walk, or get out of bed, work, or clean house... but today I will not complain, today I will do the best I can with a smile and comfort to others.
Thank you God for giving me another Easter Season, and for the ability to realize and understand what all our Lord did for us (especially during these next forty days/nights!)
