you don't know who i am?

Feb 25, 2011

you know you're on the right track when people who work in the same building as you (but don't see you often) don't recognize you. Two ladies were talking and said "isn't that the girl that works over in that department?" and when the other one said "no" i almost did a little happy dance. i smiled. later on the lady who said "no" saw me in the parking lot and just couldn't believe it was really me. it felt so good. i've never been one to take compliments easily, but i never get tired of hearing them. while i had this surgery to improve my health and my quality of life, the outward appearance is just a bonus. i feel great, and for the first time in my life i'm beginning to be able to say i care about myself and i love myself. that's a huge step in this journey - and hopefully i won't trip and fall.
