As this brief background has been laid out, I started to
learn more about nutrition and how to eat better. A little bit of different reading material
now. As the inflammation decreased, the
pain decreased, my hands and feet returned to normal, and life moved on. I wasn’t on any type of medication except for
an occasional Advil. All is good…hmmm.
Isn’t it interesting how quickly we can get back into our
old patterns? Other than I was doing a
better job with our family nutrition, I was still working full time, the kids
were growing up, they were involved in competitive sports now, and we had farm
animals. I mean big farm animals: pigs,
lambs, dairy heifers and calves, and then goats. That meant we were full into county fairs,
state fairs, and everything it takes to get the animals ready for that
time. LOVED IT!!! It was a way our family spent time
together. We worked together, we fed the
animals together, we shared so many experiences which have given our kids life
skills and memories that will last a life time. Oh yes, and there was also football,
basketball for both kids, and volleyball - practices and games. Did I mention the fact that my husband’s job
was on the business side of athletics?
That meant he had football, basketball (men and women), and volleyball
games too. Often times the games, bowl
games etc. etc. were family affairs although the kids and I got to play while
my husband had to work.
You can guess,
however,…the focus once again became what everyone else needed, and I began to
slip into some of the old routines.
