Day 358 of 365

Once upon there was a little boy visiting a magical land of exotic people and foods... He carried with him a book, not just any book but a special book that allowed him go travel between towns in the Land... As he met new people he learned of their languages and culture and  he captured all of this in his special book... Along his travels in all of the excitement, his special book slipped from his grasp and was thought to be lost...

The next morning while out wondering the land, two friends happened along a pile of rubbish in the road... At first glance there was nothing special but hiding in the rubbish they saw something strange... As they looked closer they spotted a well worn book... As they opened it they saw photos and short letters... It was all neatly written and when they flipped to the back they saw a name...Not only a name, but a location and a photo of the owner of the book...

Immediately they followed the pages of the book, traveling everywhere the books owner had traveled in hopes they would catch up and find him... But alas, everywhere they stopped, no one had seen the boy... So they continued on... For days and days the sojourned in hopes they find the true owner of the wonderful book... Just when they believed they could go no further a messenger approached with great haste... In his hand he carried notes from all of the places the friends had traveled in hopes of finding the young boy and then a final note containing the boys location...

The friends grabbed the notes and the magic book and the notes and hurried to the place where they would hopefully be able to reunite the boy with his treasure... When they arrived at the place it was a large cavernous place... The people were strange... Standing behind boxes waiting for others to come speak with them... After a few minutes waiting a middle aged man approached the friends and held out his hand to greet them with a gentle smile... He thanked them for coming and then the friends shared the tale of their adventure looking for the boy... The man was his Father and he thanked the friends graciously and with a slight quiver in his voice... His son was so worried about the book and they were amazed that it was recovered... The friends again shook the mans hand and gave him the book along with the letters detailing the books journey and then they returned to their land in order to complete their journey....

So, this story is exactly how my day went today...

love, peace and live the adventure....

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
