Patience…everything happens for a reason
I’m not necessarily the most patient person. I try hard to wait patiently for things to happen.

My family has been very supportive. They know I’m on this journey and they’ve made sure there were healthy options for me. They’ve even embraced my commitment too quitting Diet Coke and have made sure there were beverage options for me too.
