Dear Thyroid

Dear Thyroid,

I'm just going to keep this short and sweet.  Today marks one year since you left me, so I've had some time to reflect on things. While there are some things I miss about you (clarity of thought, waking up refreshed, not relying on a daily medication to do your job), I have come to the realization that I don't actually miss youYou were making me sick, but in such a sneaky, ninja-like way that I never even realized it until you were already gone. Therefore, I am glad you were evicted. 

And although I don't miss you, I do have you to thank for a couple of things.  First of all, your absence helped me to see just how strong I can be during difficult situations. Thank you for that. I would also like to express my gratitude for causing me to truly appreciate this life I get to live. My days may not always be perfect or happy, but I am at least able to find one moment in each day that I'm thankful for getting the opportunity to experience.

I'm just going to leave you with this thought...

#sorrynotsorry

Sincerely,
Alysia 

PS - I've been wondering: Where do diseased thyroids like you actually go once they leave??? Hmmmmmmm...maybe we'll save that discussion for another post.
