…happy, healthy (who are we kidding) holiday season!

As a universal truth for everyone, this belle has had quite a hectic Christmas season and have not had much time, or energy, to blog. Though, it has been in my thoughts quite frequently.

Naughty Crohnie Elf on the Shelf. (Is it just me, or is this new Elf on the Shelf tradition just a bit creepy; good and naughty?)

How is my own health… “okay,” I suppose? Man, do we serious chronic illness suffers use the word “okay” way too much. Almost as much as “I’m fine.” Maybe I should have a resolution this year to be 100% honest when asked how I feel.

Such as: “Meghan, how are you feeling?”

Instead of saying “okay” or “fine” saying: “Like a steaming pile of crap… and isn’t that ironic!”

Will this belle follow through on this resolution? Maybe somewhat, but not much. Truthful answers bring their own myriad issues, but that is an entirely different, and long, post for another time.

What I am praying for ALL of us IBDers in 2014…

Cure IBD in 2014!

Blessings to all who have stumbled upon my lonely little blog about bowels!
