One Year Pictures

I finally figured out how to post pictures to this forum. My one-year anniversary was on 10/25/11 and I took a Halloween Singles Cruise to the Caribbean for the occasion. The cruise was all about doing things I never would have done one year ago.  I also turned 40 this year so I made a vow to release all fears (My Fearless 40s). So here are the things I was able to do (physically and mentally) that I couldn't do before:
 - I danced in a conga line through the dining room
 - I dressed up in costume for the costume ball
 - I sang and danced karaoke (my version of hell but it was on my list of fears so I did it)
 - I rode a horse in the ocean
 - I sat outside in my bathing suit and went swimming for the first time in about 15 years
 - I held an alligator
 - I wore heels for the first time
 - I wore a sleeveless dress for the first time
 - I danced the marengue
 - I mingled with the singles (not good at that at all but I'll keep trying

Below are my before and after pictures.


The first picture was the day I came home from surgery



And this one is on the cruise.

Remember - be fearless!

I love it! And I love the "fearless 40s!" I am about to turn 39, so I'll start chucking that fear overboard. Congratulations on all your health, growth, success.

Much love.
