Kudos Journal Guest Editor Tracey and THANKS!

I was thrilled to come online today to see that the new AOL Journals Guest Editor is my friend, Tracey!  Congratulations, dear one, you deserve it!

Here is the link to Tracey's blog:  one*hip*mama                     

I hope everyone clicks the link to Tracey's blog and gets to know her, if you don't already.  Tracey has gone through a hell of a year in 2005, and come through it like a champ! 

To state that Tracey is an inspiration, to those of us who struggle daily with what chronic disease does to our bodies and spirit, is a huge understatement.

Tracey is a Hero, a Warrior Princess, in the fight against chronic disease and its debilitating effects.  Bedridden, in a nursing home, unable to mother her kids, Tracey fought through it with a grace and strength that is a lesson to all.  Tracey never lost hope, it was her beacon, that led her out of 'that place' and back home, where she belongs.

I also need to thank Tracey for picking my blog as one of her favorites!  It is an incredible honor for me, coming from Tracey, and I am very grateful! 

If you are a new visitor to my blog, I invite you to check out my archives if you are looking for a chuckle on family life!  Most of my recent entries have been centered around my disease struggles with Rheumatoid Arthritis because I was forced to stop a medicine and begin to try something new.

Tracey has listed many of my favorite blogs in her picks and I hope, dear reader, you get to check them all out, if they are new to you!

Be well,
Dawn
