Thanks, Shell...and a seed thought

[Guest guest]

Shell,

Thanks for the congratulations. Yeah, I've been really really busy

this past year, so I haven't posted here much... You know how it is

when you're an " old-timer " (I'll be 3 years postop in September). I

love the new folks and support them in my heart. But I have answered

the Top 25 Questions ( " why does chicken make me gag? How much calcium

should I take? When will my hair grow back? " Etc.) about 2500 times,

so forgive me if I let other newer folks take up the slack.

In the past year: A close friend (my ex-husband) had cancer and I

helped him and his wife deal with chemo & radiation (he's now in

remission), my mother died, and my 3-year relationship ended after Tim

came on the scene. Good thing I have the pouch to remind me to be sane

with food. I look back at my weight records and I realize that I've

been in my goal weight range, and the same clothing size (size 6), for

19 months! That's a life record for me. Even on OA, I could never

maintain for more than 3 weeks.

The present moment is all there is; each second is like a dollar.

Every day we wake up, our " bank account " is full: Provided we live 24

hours, we get to spend $86,400.00. But at the end of the day, the

dollars are gone whether we use them or not.

How will you spend this moment?

Martha
