1.  Champions!  The Michigan State Football team wins a share of the Big Ten Title for the first time in 20 years.  AND Dantonio was named Big Ten coach of the year! Always proud to be a Spartan! 

Well, Happy December and Hello snow!  I love this time of year.  The lights, the decorations, the excitement, the smells..To me it is a season filled with hope and faith.  Throughout my childhood, my parents always made sure that the Christmas season was a magical season for all of us kids, and at 29, it is still a magical time for me. 

November 30th already!  This month has flown by.  For my last thankful post for the year, I want to go back to two people who I only mentioned briefly in my very first thankful post. I thought about it and I felt like these very special people kind of got the short end of the stick since I included them in a lump with the first nine things/people I said I was thankful for.

Today I am thankful for the people who inspire me.  I am thankful for the living examples in my life that have either overcome, or are living with chronic illnesses in the most positive ways that they can…

I have family members and friends with MS who are running marathons, working full time jobs, raising kids…

So, I think this merits it’s own special blog post.  After I got home from Fort Wayne today from getting a T9 nerve block, I had a message on my phone to call the famous Dr. Tinkle’s office. 


To back up, when I thought I was going to be diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos, I got back to hard core researching, and realized that Dr. Brad Tinkle is pretty much a God to EDS patients.
