November and things are looking up

I was reading my post from April when I was first told I must follow a gluten free diet.
I accidentally consumed a small amount of gluten the other day - my mistake, I did not know what orzo was and ate it. Turns out it is like pasta, with wheat. Dang.

After being really sick the next day, and feeling almost totally back to normal now, I am grateful for how far I have come and realize that in spite of what I think every day, things really are looking up.

I used to be that sick all the time. I went to work most of the time anyway, but felt just horrible. I feel so much better now. I don't think my health is at 100% but it has improved a lot since I started eating gluten free.

I applied for 3 jobs at work since August and was turned down. The most recent rejection was 4 days ago. Almost enough to make someone want to give up. I mostly like my job and I just need to figure out how to like it more and how to just stay put for a while.

Happy Anniversary to me, I have been sober 10 years and 5 days.

It's November 2010 and I am grateful for many things in my life. Sometimes I let worries and fears get in the way of just enjoying my life! I want to stop that.

Now we go into the season of birthdays and holidays in my family. I intend to focus on needs rather than wants right now and spend more time reading, relaxing, and enjoying the time I spend with my friends and my family.
