I am officially plowing new ground. I could not believe the scales this morning. When I first stepped on the scales, they bounced around for a bit then stopped on 216.0. So, I stepped off, waited for the scale to reset, and stepped back on: 215.4. WHAT!! So, I am going with the second weight. We will see tomorrow if I should have stuck with the higher weight. But, I cannot express how tickled I am to see the 215s.

I got ready to go to work and began to get shaky and broke out in a sweat. My stomach started feeling yucky. But, I pushed through it and left for work. About 6 miles from home, my stomach began to hurt terribly. I

I am constantly wishing my time away. I remember very few times in my life that I was not wishing the hours, days, weeks, or months away because I was looking forward to some event. I have to remind myself often to STOP, look around, and to appreciate where I currently am.

We are not guaranteed tomorrow. Each day is a gift. Even the most difficult days have lessons to be learned or memories that will be created.

Almost one year ago, my mom was scheduled to have
