Its been a long time......

It's been such a long time since I posted here, but I had a moment and wanted to stop in and say "HI". 

Life has been so crazy lately, some really great things, like my new found passion for snowboarding. I will share my wow moment with you:
I got to the top of the mountain and sat on the snow to strap in, and when I was done I looked up to get ready to stand up and head down, and the view took my breath away and I started crying right there at the top of the mountain.........and my sister asked me "what's wrong?" and I said "nothing at all...........it's just that THIS is the life I always wanted to live"......I really was just a moment..................and I started down the mountain. 



Some NOT SO GREAT things as well.  My mother has been in the hospital.  Diagnosis:  COPD, Congestive heart failure, heart attack, diabetes.  Now both of my parents are facing life threatening conditions and I am definately NOT excited about this phase of my life.

Also, after 12 years, I am pretty sure I am going to lose my job.  I don't even know where to begin with explaining this one.....................except for that means I have to move.........where?  I don't know.

But the good thing is that I am holding my weightloss very well............. 2 1/2 years post op........and i am healthy. 

I hope all of you are well, and just wanted to stop by and say "HI".

Hey there Connie.  I remember meeting you at LB coffee a while back.  Congrats on the good and so sorry about the bad.  Thanks for checking in.

Connie good to see you around...LTNS for sure. It really sucks that you are facing health issues with your parents...that for sure is no fun along with having to face the possibility of losing your job. Lot of things piling up on you, but you have managed not to stuff your mouth so that is a good one!

Be careful on those slopes and have some fun girl!

Connie---
 you were one of my inspirations when I first came to this board! You were training to be a TRAINER---and I thought--whoa!! from wls to that!!! HOW COOL!!!  How is that part going???
     Very sorry to hear about your MOM, I am going thru much the same...my Mom actually is in  Hospice, and with not much time...... unbelievable sad!  So, you are in my thoughts on that as well as the inspiration you have given us.
    Take care,
Lori

Connie,

Welcome back and congratulations on your accomplishments both weight and wows.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for your parents.  I lost mine both to cancer 6 days apart in 2001 and being an only child, I felt just like you are feeling, thank the Lord for a fabulous husband who was my rock.

I will also hold good thoughts for your job.  I am right there with you as mine has been eliminated as of June 30th of this year.  I am not worried as I believe there is a plan and I am looking and networking now.  If you need assistance with a resume, it's my forte, just let me know.

Nice to meet you and I wish you only good things and hope you will come back for hugs and support.

Hugs,
Barb
