Day 406...Year 2

I am so glad my Kittens came through their surgeries yesterday without any problems, but now the poor babies are doomed to the cone of shame for two weeks...I have sacrificed my own comfort in my bed so the kittens can have a quiet room to themselves while they heal and I am taking up residency on the couch for the time being...

For a total change of subject... This coming week brings to us the greeting card and florist industries biggest day of the year, next to Mother's Day... It is none other than Valentine's Day!!! So what does a single gal do the week before the biggest anti-singles day of the year, next to New Year's Eve??? She watched a romance on the Hallmark Channel of all things... However this movie was incredible...

It told the story of an 80 year old woman that goes to the train station every Valentine's Day to wait for her Husband to come home from the War... The movie takes you from when they met and married, to him being sent away on a Naval ship during World War II, and then him being declared Missing in Action... Every year since that day, on February 14th, she returns and sits at the train station in hopes that he will return...

This movie reminded me of two important things... One, just how important our military men and women are and two, true love means never giving up on the one you love, no matter the circumstances... She never lost faith that he would one day return home to her...

Love, peace and no matter what...

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

Day 159 of 366

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
