Today, I went out with a co-worker that I don't usually hang out with by myself.  Of course, she knows I'm not eating gluten because our entire staff eats together everyday at lunch and I'm pretty limited and sometimes bring my own.  Anyway, tonight she invited me to dinner with her, then we went out shopping for a while.  We were talking about work and life.  She asked me if I thought the gluten-free thing was working and I shrugged and said I didn't know.  She told me that I seem a like I'm in a better mood lately.  I know that may not seem like a big deal or anything, but it is.  This depression has really had me down.  It's made me apathetic and... lazy.  I don't like to make excuses, and I know this is just my challenge I have to overcome... but for someone to notice a real noticeable difference...  that's big to me.  It's so funny that something we eat can effect so much.  I do have a lot of other things going on right now too--I'm looking forward to going home, I'm finished with school for the semester, and I get to see a lot of my friends this week.  There have been a lot of blows to my life this semester.  It's time to let go, to work through them however I can and move on... while holding on to the good times of the past.  Change is difficult.   Summer is here though.  I will be with my family again and I will be where I love.  I will regroup and hopefully come back my old self... happy, funny, and motivated.  I can do it.
