Top 28 things of my 28th birthday!

Day 13 of Bikram and Day 20 of no gluten!

I cannot believe it's been that long since I have had gluten!

These are written more in a chronological order rather than a worthy order! Hands down best birthday yet, so I just want to show my gratitude and love tonight :-)

1. Woke up BEFORE my alarm and felt ready for the day!
2. Had a tasty smoothie and toast!
3.  Arrived to work EARLY!
4.  A very intense mother that I have, who told me last week she did not think my treatment approach was going to work, complemented my suggestions to help her kid because he made so much progress in ONE WEEK! Thank you for trusting me lady! I have the degree, not you :-)

and one to grow on:
29.  Marrying the most beautiful and amazing woman in October! If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would be as happy as I am!

I am going to try and live this next year based on this quote:

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."   

 

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Thank you to everyone who showed me love today and every day! I am such a lucky woman!
