I read your profile today and it has been the most inspiring one I've heard so far. It was funny and I can relate to everything about how your journey began. My insurance company has me wait 6 months but I am being patient a d scare because I finish next month and then wait for a date. Thanks for keeping it real in your story. I was not having a good day but when I read your profile I got the courage to pick myself up and move forward. To you I say thanks and congratulations on your many accomplishments.

Congrats to you being on the losing side. I look forward to my being there as well. Your postings have helped me and let me know that I am not alone and it isn't just me, there are others out there that are going through or have gone through all the pain and anguish just as I am. Thank you so much! Best wishes! Tiff

Hi All! I am home and after relaxing for a while, I felt up to starting dinner for my family so I washed and seasoned some chicken and put it on to bake and let my daughter do the rice and green beans. I've had about 60 oz of water today (tried some SF peach jello but wasn't really interested after the first 2 spoonfuls), I walked through the grocery store with my fiance' on the way home(couldn't stand the thought of waiting in the car), marched in place to music for about 10 minutes, walked around my house while talking on the phone for 30 minutes, and visited with my wonderful angel for a couple of hours. I feel so much better when I'm up and moving, but I know I have to rest as well. I feel far better than I ever imagined I would. Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement.

Great to hear you are doing so well. Don't push yourself to much though, your body needs time to heal. Just make sure you drink and walk, all else will fall into place. Good luck!!!!

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important, Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over &#8230; until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect, It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risks, It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly, And the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your Dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast that you forget where you've been, But also know where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored every step of the way.
