Default wow moments still make my day!!

o.k., heres the story.

I am going to New York for business soon and every year I go I freeze!! (cause I am a born and raised California girl!)
So I decide I am going to go out and get some true warm winter clothes, you know, boots, sweaters, long pants...etc.

As I am walking the mall in La Jolla...the sun was shining on my face the wind slightly blowing through my hair (which is finally grown back). Strands and curls are flying around me. My arms are swinging in opposite harmony with my legs. The movement of my body feels strong and healthy...life is good!!

I am window shopping looking at all the choices available to me, when I notice something. My eyes can not keep up with the pace at which I am walking. I realize that I am effortlessly walking...no no wait...more like gliding along!! OMG!!!

The realization is overwhelming and I can't help but pick up my pace then slow it down just to verify that I am no longer trying desperately to maneuver 300 pounds in a mall that would surely only have a limited amount of options to cover me in any resemblance of fashion. Instead, today I am hovering through the corridor of window shopping. Overwhelmed with the styles and choices before me!!! yep, that feels like a WOW moment to me!!!


p.s., I think my iron infusion is working, that helps also....gotta love medical science!!!
