The Best

Yesterday was Friday and my short day at work. After work I had an acupuncture appointment. It was a great appointment. She kept hammering home the point that I can't FORCE my body to lose weight and that I am doing all I can and have to just turn over the rest to my higher consciousness. I like that thought. The metaphor she used was something about a seed that needs "angry" energy to push it's way out of the ground and then is able to become a flower. I need to use my angry/frustrated energy to push and do all I can, but not worry about becoming the flower and blooming because that is what I was meant to be, so I don't need to stress about it. As she said "a seed doesn't worry about being a flower or blooming, because that is what it is. It just does what it can and then is itself." After my treatment which focused on a lot of liver, spleen, and digestive areas I felt great. On my way out the door I ran into her again and she gave me a huge hug and told me she was proud of me. She's the best!

I have the best best friend. I told her and her hubby about our upcoming IVF attempt over the phone since we haven't been able to see each other for a bit. We had them over for dinner last night and she brought me a gift. It was a willow tree figure for hope. I could have cried! She is so thoughtful. Her card that went along with it read:

" I am so excited for your upcoming IVF! Please let me know if there's anything I can do- even if it means an emergency Cold Stone run!! I love you so much!!"

I am so grateful to have such a loving, supportive friend in my life.
