    Bump In The Road!

    Bump In The Road!

    Ty. Any other time it would make feel discouraged and depressed but not this time. Things happen for a reason so I’m going to be patient and do what I must do. I started my Ozempic this morning and I gave up drinking coke. To me this is just a part of my journey and I can do this.
