FRIDAY! 
Gosh, doesn’t it feel good hearing that it is Friday?
Even though Monday was a long weekend and this week literally flew by due to my little getaway, I am relieved to hear that it is Friday. I suppose it is just because I like making you all feel god about yourselves 
So, without further a do, let’s get this High Five Friday celebration started!
Sloane is giving herself a high five this week for a huge accomplishment that is allowing her to take part in a once in a life time experience:
“I’ve been planning a 6 week trip to Peru for several months now (studying spanish, living with a family, hiking the Inca Trail, and other awesome stuff!). A month ago, when I got sent home from school because of my relapse, my doctor told me that I probably would not be able to go because I was too sick, and body would not be able to handle the 12000 ft. altitude. When I went for a check-up this week, however, he told me that my weight has stabilized, my blood pressure is at a much healthier level, and I’ve raised my iron, electrolyte, and potassium to a level where he felt comfortable allowing me to go!!!!
I can hardly believe it…it took a LOT of hard work, and being away for 6 weeks in a foreign country will be a huge challenge, but it also is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I don’t want to spend it worrying about food/weight.”
Sam says,

My high five this week is going to be for driving two hours by myself to visit my Grandma I don’t really like driving, so I was always nervous to drive a longer distance by myself; however, I pushed my anxiety aside and did it I am so glad I did too because I had a wonderful visit with my Grandma and Lils!
High five to Meg growing up!
Thank you to those of you who participated in HFF this week! It means the world to me
Remember, any triumph that happens throughout your week deserves to be recognized, so don’t be shy! Send me a HFF submission to my email (adashofmeg@gmail.com) to be featured in next week’s HFF post!
