Default 1 year today

Reflecting on the past year I have come to terms with things like "how good life truley is" and "how far I have come in just 1 short year". I have been thinking about how blessed I trueley am to have friends and loved ones who care and the fact that I have gained so many new friends through this forum. I am posting pics from the day before my surgery and today. I still don't like what I see, but I love who I am. As far as the sagging skin, that don't make me who I am, it's whats inside that counts. I thank God for all you beautiful people I have come to know and love, shoot I share things with you all that I can't tell anyone else.... This past year has taught me to live, laugh and to love. To enjoy life and what each day has brought. To take time to smell the roses and consider the lillies, to run in the wind and play like today is the last day I have to live. There is so many things that I have learned. One of the many joys my husband and I have is we just became Foster & Adoption licensed. we will someday soon beable to fill our home with the pitter patter of little feet, something I thought I would never have the chance at again. I know it seems I am rambling, but how often do you just let your thoughts got wild and type what you are thinking..... Anyway I want to say thanks to all you who have been my support over and through all my trials with my surgery this year. God Bless you always......
***~Hugs Sue~***

Default You're inspirational

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! I'm so glad you gonna be used to care for some wonderful children. God is good. I'm learning to give him the glory and get strength from him when needed. I'm not a needy person anymore. I can give it to God, not be stressed, and not need the food as a crutch. You're numbers are inspirational to me and I am saying, Thank you Lord for sending them my way today.
