At the end of the day...

I know I have been really quite here in cyber world lately. A lot has been going on in life that had to be taken care of. I am happy to report that life issues have been taken care of and I should hopefully get back on a regular schedule.

I was browsing Pinterest after cooking dinner this evening and came across a quote that was very suiting. You can follow me here.

Drama and stress have been really prevalent in my life lately and I was letting it get the best of me. I was letting it drag me down each day. I finally got to a point where I could take it any more. The stress had over taken everything in my life. When I tried to get my mind off things something always happened to bring the stress back to being the center of attention.

After seeing this quote tonight it really made me realize all the good I have in my life.

I have an amazing husband who is always there for me through the think and thin. When we got married 6 years ago (oh, where has the time gone!) most people told us we were to young and we didn't know what we were doing. We knew exactly what we were doing! We compliment each other the way a marriage is supposed to work. Don't get me wrong we have our disagreements, but never go to bed mad. Saying "I do" to Randy is the best thing I have ever done. I love that man more than words can describe.

I have amazing parents who never miss the chance to tell someone that I am their daughter and they are proud of me. My parents are my biggest support system. When ever I am having a bad day I know I can pick up the phone and call my marmy and she will always be on the other end talking me through whatever I am going through.

I have amazing friends that no matter how goofy I get they will always laugh with me instead of at me :)

I can't forget the amazing co-workers I have. If you are reading this you fall into this wonderful group. No matter how stressed out we get or how frustrated our job makes us we will ban together and get through the day. Even if we spend every moment thinking it is one moment closer to enjoying a nice cold margarita or Blue Moon!

So, at the end of the day I am going to focus on the things that hold me together.

What holds you together at the end of a rough day?

Update from Joshie!

Well here it is I have realized that the more medications you are on the less anti-virals really have a chance to really completely do their job! I have taken myself off of all medications not related to HIV, since November of 2012. At that time my CD4 was about 121. But my viral load was undetectable  The prison physician didn't know why (as well as outside street doctors) my CD4 would only keep on the downward slide. So, I made the choice against the physician's advice and refused all med but my trio anti-viral regiment  Now almost 5 months later my CD4 has amazing increased to 324. I would have mentioned this earlier  and still the results are too soon, but over doubled the CD4 in 5 months. That is really saying something! Not by all means I don't recommend anyone just up and quitting meds. I took a risk. Fortunately  nothing negative happened  

So as Buddha says, "Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds and shine!" Compassion to you all
