Today was a great day. The night before I had prayed to the Lord asking him and Mother Mary to bless me today. The power of prayer is wonderful. As usual, I woke up tossing and turning due to stomach pains from gastritis. I went to work with anxiety thinking I was going to have a bad day with nausea, heartburn, stomach pains, etc. I was wrong. 
   I went to my meeting and felt normal. No pain, no headaches, no gastritis issues whatsoever. My co-workers are very supportive and briefly chatted with me regarding how I was feeling. That made my day. Being able to go to work and have such supportive co workers who can console you is such a big relief especially if you are suffering from anxiety and gastritis at the same time. 
   I continued my day at work. The day was a breeze and no stress whatsoever. I left work early and went home. Instead of eating my typical bland diet, I made gluten free pasta with some leftover chicken. I added some soy sauce and a lil honey for some flavor. I was thinking I was going to have an upset stomach since the chicken was smoked and had plenty of herbs and flavor. 
  Currently, I still feel normal with no gastritis pains. I wish everyday was like this or perhaps I feel like I'm getting well. Gastritis is such a horrible sickness. I won't let it take over my life and I won't let the anxiety get the best of me. I will fight, stay strong, and take each day one at a time.
