Only seven days left! I am so excited and still...scared at the same time. Questions and thoughts keep going thru my head, "Am I making the right choice? Could I just give a diet one last chance? Others are bigger than myself, is it fair that *I* get approved when they are so much more in need? What if something goes wrong? What would my family feel?" etc. My faith in God is stronger than ever since 9-11. Of course, first I went thru that stage of, "How could our God let this happen? He is supposed to preform miracles, yet he let this happen." But I realized, If He did not need those people more than we needed them, He would have stopped it from happening. I know I am NOT the first to feel that way. But I really felt terrible after thinking those thoughts. God will only give us what we can handle. He would never let us go thru it alone. He will always walk beside us or carry us. SO I know he will be right beside me thru this surgery. And he will also be there for my friend, Joyce, as she goes thru her journey too. Her surgery is the same day as mine at the same hospital! I am glad I met her and her beautiful family. Peace be with you ALL and God bless those awaiting and recently gone thru surgery.

Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side.

Hi Kathy "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.
