The Miracle of Life

There was a death in the family this month.  Like all deaths, it was expected yet unexpected.  It was a parent of my husband's this time, which is altogether a different thing from 2009 when I dealt with my side of the families deaths.

This week I watched the Hanukkah lights slowly burn down and finally out, like life.  I have to be strong for my husband, but in that moment, with the lights one by one going out, I let myself think about how life is like a candle, starting out burning bright, and slowly going out.

I started the year about to turn 30, and without a job.  I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and started thinking that maybe those weekly pill boxes might not be such a bad idea after all.  I did have a job lined up, and I managed to keep it before the end of the year, which has been nice.  I hope to get my thyroid medication working next year, enough so I can lose weight and think about having a baby.  Maybe.

I want to have the energy to enjoy life, before death comes knocking at my door.

Bovine capsule supplements can help reduce the accumulation of certain chemical in our body from some of the foods we eat. I advise taking it carefully by consulting a doctor before self medicating. It could harm your body.

I'm sorry about the death. It seems never ending.

The general rule of thumb, natural thyroid supplement that is safe and can be used to stabilize your underactive thyroid is necessary. It is all natural remedies for hypothyroidism that some experts believe fall under that safe and effective supplement for thyroid.
