Happy New Year~

This past year was high paced and full of change. New hobbies, new health news, new focus, new work schedule.... the list goes on and on. New is always good. G and DH have taken up road biking and are on a team enjoying long weekend rides. Completing the 100 mile race was the highlight of DHs year. Black belt test is in April. Fitness has definitely been the focus of his past year. G continues riding behind dad, gaining experience and form with each ride. Karate continues and he is now a year out from his black belt.

Many years of battling chronic illness has left me drained, but just before Thanksgiving, had additional tests done which ruled out much of the worst suspected and actually resulted in a surprising discovery... a severe vitamin D deficiency- rickets level actually. I am on a rapid cycle increase regimen over the next few months (I know, rapid cycle= months! )with the hope that most of the symptoms that have had MDs perplexed for years may begin to reverse themselves. We are cautiously optimistic. I don't even remember what normal is, but I am on my way feeling better each and every day. Working only 3 days a week most of the time has also increased my energy level and outlook on life. New year, new me is the hope!

I hope this finds anyone still following healthy and well. Best wishes for a happy new year.
