I confess:

• I am a Chobani and Smart Water addict.

It’s tradition!  Here are our annual reflections…

Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

Brad-My 2013 resolution continues to be to exercise consistently, even when life gets busy.

Katie- I like to make goals to work towards instead of resolutions.  I accomplished over half of the goals I set in 2012.  I made 50 more goals for 2013.  I carried some over from 2012.

Topic: What questions do you have for other patients?

One of the most important things for me is sharing with fellow zebras.  There is nothing like being able to talk to someone who is living a life similar to mine.  I’m sure many of you will understand what I mean when I say what an amazing feeling it is to meet someone who just “knows” what you are going through, because they are living it too. 

I just got home from our first night of parent-teacher conferences.  I am pretty fried but here I go truckin’ along with National Health Blog Post Month.  Please don’t expect anything profound…I’m in brain fog-land.

Today’s prompt: “How do you decide what to share and what not to share.”

This is pretty easy.  When I think disclosure, I always think to myself, what is my ultimate goal for blogging?  When I was at my sickest and feeling extremely lost, I scoured the Internet for anything and everything that could help me.
