Marty, how right you are!
Lisa, Glen enjoyed your kiss!
And Corrine, you bring me to my knees in tears.
Thank you all for the good wishes and support and love.
Two things come to mind - look out, I'm waxing nostalgic this evening! My husband had skin cancer surgery today so I am emotionally recovering from that.........
Corrine, about being positive, we all have choices. We can choose this path or that path. We can eat this or that. We can focus on this or that. I have chosen the positive path, on purpose, consciously. It is the easiet path, the least exhausting, the better path for me. It has SUCCESS written all ove rit.
Many people think I have had it so easy, such a "honky donky" life. Far from it. My life has been as most of yours have been - the good and the bad, and a lot of bad. I had a crummy childhood. I am in my third marriage. You know that hurts - it still hurts. My current marriage has not always been as truly wonderful as it is now - we had to work at it.
I say all of this to be totally real with you, as real as I am when I post my positive posts. I have morphed into a new person in many ways, a confident and happy person, even in the face of my child's breast cancer. I do believe the cup is half empty or it is full. And I am determined to live my life with my cup as full as possible.
No, Corrine, it hasn't all been weight loss, but clearly losing the weight has been a huge step toward finding the authentic me, the real me, warts and all!
We make choices........
