Three Good Things (post dessicated thyroid and iodine edition)

1. This morning I woke up and immediately got energetically down to business. I did several tasks that were on my to-do list right away.

2. I am feeling ambitious about my reading again. I feel like reading more that just pulpy novels. I am back to work on my American history book series (Joy Hakim's History of US), put Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography on reserve at the library, and started Moll Flanders and Howards End. I'm even feeling like doing some extra research for my book club on the sensibility debate of the late 18th century and on Romanticism in Sense and Sensibility.

3. I had energy to burn today, so I worked out. I am horribly out of shape, but my body felt so GOOD to be exercising again.

Wow, Kelly, that's wonderful news. It is so good to feel alive again after you come out of a bad place. You mentioned in your previous post about lacking iodine in your diet; a good (read, read and inxpensive) way to include iodine in you family's diet is with kelp granules. Presumably if you weren't getting much iodine, they aren't either, and while the kelp would not be enough quickly enough for you, they would likely benefit from some supplementation. We use some from Maine Coast. They have plain and some mixed with cayenne pepper. The plain is easy to mix a bit into a smoothie or hide in a zillion things like deviled eggs. Please keep us updated, and good for you for figuring out your issues and setting them straight.
