Day 418...Year 2

What an incredible day...

I was able to spend time with two of my most favorite people, on our annual pilgrimage to the East coast in search of Shells, Flowers and Fun!!!

We savored the wonderful Florida weather, feeling the sun on our faces and drinking in the beautiful splendor God has created...

The three of us searched the beach for shells to fill Mom's bucket... Along with the shells we found these amazing sea rocks, that will soon line her flower beds... As we were on the hunt, Mom stopped to talk to a couple from the great White North... They admired our bounty and inquired as to what we were going to do with it... Mom very animatedly described her plan and continued to talk about other things... I quietly commented to BFF about how far my Mom has come since moving here... She has really opened up and allowed others to see the person she is on the inside... It makes me so happy to see how she has changed...

Like the Beach we also searched several nurseries for just the right plants and flowers that will grace our homes this year... It was so nice to spend time looking at the different possibilities and coming up with new ideas...

These are my favorite says... The days where we explore and have adventures... Where we happen upon places we wouldn't normally go to, like a Chocolate company that donates all of it's proceeds to local charities or a Haunted Restaurant and Bar with food that is to die for... ;)

Where we don't care about when we will get home, but only what we will discover next...

Love, peace and did someone say 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

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
