Happy Birthday to me

Sep 13, 2010

Just had my 46th birthday on 9/11/10.  What an awesome day!!  Almost three months out from surgery and am down 45 pounds.  What a journey!! Haven't had any serious issues and am learning to use my "tool".  Exercise is key! I wouldn't have said that a few months ago.  But, its all good. 
People look at me so differently now.  I had someone tell me how much "brighter" I look. Someone said that I even look younger! That is just awesome! I smile to myself everytime I look in the mirror and thank God for giving me the chance to make a change for the better in my life.  It is a journey that I plan to stay on.  My husband is thrilled and can barely keep his hands off of me!!
So, if anyone out there is contemplating the surgery, go for it.  The good outweighs the bad by a mile.
Change is evident on the outside, but change has already begun on the inside.  Learn to live life to the fullest every moment that you live because that moment will not come again.  Wasted moments is wasted life. 
Someday is not a day of the week.  I am learning to put these things into practice because life is worth living.
You do the same.
Be blessed.
