Sorry it has taken me so long to respond but as I lay here in bed in pain...knowing I need to get up in 30 mins to get ready for work...I thought I would jump on in with my list.

1. Number one on my list has to be having a baby...what an amazing experience all that was/is. Raising a baby comes with it's share of difficulties with this condition but my gorgeous, sweet baby girl just fills me with so much joy that even when I'm in a bad place she gives me a reason to keep going. Such a little miracle that girl...can't believe it's been a year since I had her.

2. Number 2 on the list was being pregnant. Oh my goodness...I think I was the pregnant lady all other pregnant women hate...lol...so unbelievably happy throughout the entire pregnancy despite various bumps along the way. It was so amazing...I can't even put into words how incredible it felt carrying my little girl in my belly...being happy like that is such an incredible, drug free high.

3. I go fishing several times a year with my boyfriend and we have so much fun. I can't do as much as I used to but even just sitting in the boat and enjoying the weather and nature is wonderful.

4. Have gone to Disney World several times and Disneyland a couple too. I love Disney...it is my happy place. I use a walker and they are so handicapped friendly...it's so easy to tour the parks and have a great time. I even got to go when I was pregnant and had a special maternity photo shoot in Epcot before the park opened...so fun!

5. Gardening...I discovered gardening after my RSD went full body and I so enjoy sitting in the yard looking at the beautiful flowers...knowing I planted them. Creating a beautiful sanctuary in our yard has made it a safe, special place for me to go even when I don't feel up for going "out"...and shopping for plants is also loads of fun!

I know there are other things but those are the big things I am most proud of and that are the most important to me.
