Good morning y’all! I hope you had a fantastic weekend and you are ready to face another week! This week is not just any new week, we are also entering into a new month! How in the world did May get here so fast?? Today is definitely a great day to let go of anything negative that happened last week and start the new month off with a clear and positive mind!
There is always so much negative that occurs in the world today and it is not easy to swallow. For the life of me can not understand where all the hate came from. Y’all already know this about me, but I want to spread as much happiness and positivity as I can, whenever I can! I have a beautiful quote I want to share with y’all today and I hope it connects well with you!
I appreciate you stopping by my site today and hope your week starts off wonderful! No matter what happens or what goes wrong, it is always so important to get back up, brush yourself off and push forward! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love
, comfort and many positive vibes!
Always, Alyssa
and pain, but I am hoping it does not get anywhere near as bad as it was for the past two days. I am used to dealing with pain of all kinds and can handle it rather well, but once the pain gets into my head, I am done! 
me and has been understanding with me not being able to do the acceptance post, yet! I promise I will do this post as soon as I am able to. In the meantime though, if you have not already viewed Hillary’s blog, I strongly encourage you to do so. Hillary has some great posts and I always enjoy reading her posts!
hope throughout the week, I will be able to complete the few posts I have started and be able to publish them!
weekend will pay off. I am supposed to be at work tomorrow morning, I am very hopeful that I will be able to start the week better than last week ended. I will keep my positive outlook and know things will work out the way they are supposed to!
I think y’all know this about me by now, but I think everyone deserves to be treated equally and with respect. I strongly believe that we all have a beating heart and we have feelings. I am an advocate that it doesn’t matter your race, skin color, national origin, 
religious beliefs, sexual orientation or anything else that makes you a little different from another, respect and love 
but for a reason we may never know. Maybe things we experience teach us how to be more compassionate or learn how to be more patient, whatever the reasons may be they make us stronger and even better than we were before. 
million pieces and cause me to feel like a useless failure . I do realize how irrational this may sound, but that is how I have been feeling. It made me incredibly sad when I had a difficult time walking through a store last weekend because my legs and feet were experiencing SO much pain and weakness. All
I wanted to do was cry, but I couldn’t because I view that as letting this illness win the never-ending battle we have been in for years and that will NEVER be an option for me!!
the issues Multiple Sclerosis comes along with and then add gluten-intolerant to the mix seems quite unfair. I know we all deal with random issues and keep on moving forward because we do not have a choice. I am also very aware that many others deal with SO many other struggles that are far worse than what I am, so I am really not complaining. I am going to share more about this gluten-intolerant situation in a later post.
The truth is, because I am always so exhausted during the week after working 8 hours every day of the week, I often don’t have the energy to write as much as I would like to. I end up with so many random thoughts running around like crazy in my mind; it gets so hard to keep track of them all and have those thoughts come together for a good read and one that I am proud of.
dizzy/black-out spells. I have had these issues happen before, but never so many in just one day. At least 2 days last week, there were several moments when the room went completely dark and there NO were sounds at all, which under other circumstances would be great. There was one time I was talking with a co-worker at her desk about work and all of sudden I felt weak, light-headed, hot as hell and dizzy. Luckily I was standing very close to the wall, which kept me standing upright. It might have been pretty embarrassing if I all of sudden fell to the floor at this new job.
terrifying; dizzy spells, black-out moments or the combination of the two. Of course I would say the combination of dizziness and black-out would the most terrifying because you are dealing two different disturbing issues at the same time. I have dealt with dizzy spells for so many years now, but I have found ways that help me limit the duration of my dizziness, most of the time at least.
understand how horribly upsetting they can be. I remember a few years ago there was a period of time when I had a several short black-outs throughout the week, but they weren’t anywhere near as severe as they are now. I am not sure if its stress, lack of sleep, weather changes or something else. The list of possible reasons really could go on and on and on, but I really just wish they were STOP!
comment, but I do encourage your comments if that makes any sense, but I know your thoughts will be amazing. I promise to respond to your comments as quickly as I can! I hope you are feeling well and enjoying your weekend! Sometimes I think the best part of a weekend isn’t getting out and staying busy, but not having any plans at all so there aren’t any time requirements. My days are set in stone during the week with work, which I tend to strongly dislike, but I guess it is just the life of adulthood. I enjoy spending my 2 very short weekend days living in the moment and not doing anything that might cause unnecessary stress. Please remember that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love 
resemble a huge jigsaw puzzle. Sometimes we have a piece that fits together perfectly and other times nothing at all fits the way we expect or want it to. It really is like when you try putting a large puzzle together, but some of the pieces you have in front of you become difficult to place because of their shape and size. We all face the same situation daily when we are confronted with people with different views and behaviors. We may strongly disagree with others point of views, but we are all entitled to our own views and perspectives. As long as these thoughts do not cause physical and or emotional harm to another it should be accepted. 
as they are respectful of me and my beliefs. I have never tried changing another person or their views because that is just wrong to do! I feel that if we were all alike the world would be downright boring and we need diversity! I enjoy being around people who are different from myself and find learning about how they view things pretty fascinating!
co-workers you mesh well with and others whom you don’t and that is perfectly okay! You really can’t force the pieces of life together, things just fit when it’s meant to be! I have always believed that everything in life happens for a reason and when it is supposed to. Of course I tend to forget this often and get frustrated because I just want things to work out perfectly. I guess that is the part of me that is controlling, but we all have our faults and we deal with them as needed. 
puzzle of our life. It can be incredibly frustrating and test our strengths, but at the end of the day we can be proud of what we have accomplished. It is so important to never give up and know all the pieces will fit perfectly eventually.
keep trying and I am sure I will understand how it works soon. Have y’all tried it yet and do you have any advice for me?
think I will be able to do so because I do not have any other plans. I think spending some good quality time at home I should be able to respond to your comments, read and comment on your posts as well! It has been a very busy and exhausting week, we were lucky enough to have my mother-in-law visiting for a few day! 
patient with my late responses. I hope your Friday Eve is absolutely wonderful and you are looking forward to the weekend. Maybe you have some fun plans or maybe your plans are to have no plans and just live in the moment, any of these are great as long as they make you happy! Please never forget that even when I am late with everything, I am always sending y’all LOTS of love 
by my site today! I hope you have a fantastic day and a fabulous weekend! I promise to respond to any of your comments as quickly as I can!! Remember, do something nice for yourself because YOU deserve it!! Never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love 
going on and understanding how to handle it will provide me with some relief or at least I hope it will! Obviously I am not a doctor, but I think I am familiar enough with the body I have lived in for almost 38 years. I am going to share with y’all what I have learned and please if you have any other helpful tips or ideas, please let me know!
I first want to clarify a few important details I have learned! Gluten Intolerance is often confused with other issues, like Celiac Disease or food allergies, but there are some differences and similarities. Gluten is a protein found mainly in wheat, barley and rye. This protein can cause digestive problems like gassiness, abdominal pain or diarrhea. With food allergies, the immune system overreacts to a particular food causing various reactions and levels of severity. Celiac Disease is an inherited autoimmune disorder that can damage the small intestines, but Gluten Intolerance almost mimics this.
fatigue and tiredness, having very low energy. Gluten Intolerance can cause iron-deficiency anemia. This is a condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body’s tissues
this intolerance. People with digestive issues seem more prone to both anxiety and depression.-Even though depression is not too common, there are a few theories for how Gluten Intolerance can lead to depression.
shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, pale skin and weakness.
constant feeling of fatigue, obnoxious levels of anxiety, nervousness, worrying and quick agitation, dizziness at random times, weakness, joint and muscle pain, numbness and cloudiness in my mind. I always blamed so many of these symptoms on Multiple Sclerosis and maybe that is still the case, but maybe it is a Gluten Intolerance causing more of it.
