go into remission (read all 4 entries…)
go into remission... again. 1 month ago

Well I’ve obviously relapsed. So again my number one goal is remission. I’m back on prednisone for the time being. Hopefully that along with an increase in my other meds will kick my ass back to the “R” word!

I always have hope.

Back at School!! 1 month ago

I finally made it!! I’m back in classes and on the way to finally finishing university!

Looking at all the textbooks and impeding essays and exams makes me goes “What the hell am I thinking?!?” but in the end I think it’ll be more than worth the effort.



Go on more picnics
I love picnics! 1 month ago

I caught the picnic bug in France this spring and now I can’t stop! I’ve even had picnics alone in my backyard!! I love it! I can really enjoy the food outside. It’s so relaxed and calm.

give myself more credit
This is a lot harder than I thought... 1 month ago

It’s funny.. I keep coming back to this. I been ridiculously hard on myself lately when I really shouldn’t be. I have to try and remember that I’ve turned by life around in the last year. My life may not look like I thought it would but I’m doing okay. I’ve managed to make it to remission once (even though I’m not there anymore), I made my dream of traveling to France happen and now I’m starting my number one priority next week, university. I’ve done all that and then some in just a year. Pretty damn good Sarah!! You’re your own hero!! GIVE YOURSELF SOME CREDIT!

Laughter is the best medicine! 6 months ago

I’ve been watching the most ridiculous movies over the past few months. I have never laughed so much or been more happy!

“What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole… wheel of cheese? How’d you do that? Heck, I’m not even mad; that’s amazing. How ‘bout we get you in your p.j.’s and we hit the hay.”



Be more green
Joined The Good Life 6 months ago

Woo hoo! I participated in Earth Hour and I’ve now joined The Good Life by WWF. http://thegoodlife.wwf.ca

I know why! 6 months ago

I finally started doing this and the reason why hit me like someone slapped me across the face with a big fish. When I write these things down and I look for them more. I look for beautiful music, inspiring quotes and so on in my everyday life now. I’ve become more aware of the beauty in the world everyday because I look for it :)
