hav'en't posted in a long time., maybe help others?

It has been a long time since I posted.  My 4 year anniversary is coming in August.  I had back surgery last year and it was a blessing.  I must say the surgery was a blessing also.  My health and stamina, so many things improved after the surgery.  I am thankful for the surgery, but there were times I wished I had had it sooner.  Can't change the past - just move forward. 

I must say I follow the rules. I make sure I get my protein every day and eat 4 - 6 small meals throughout the day.  I think retiring has also helped.  The stress of work is gone, but the stress of living goes on.  I guess it all depends on what kind of stress you carry and how you handle it. 

I hope my friends are still out there and doing well.  If  you remember me, write!
