I don't even know where to start...... 12 days ago when my world fell apart I didn't even know how I was going to get through the next few minutes let alone hours and days. But here I am 12 days later and I am still making it, sometimes better then others. For those of you who haven't read my previous blog...the love of my life, my husband of 15 years, the man I vowed to spend the rest of my life with decided he didn't want to be married anymore. No warning, no REAL reason other than to say ...
So this week I am learning some painful life lessons. The biggest one is not to forget who YOU are as a person. For the past 22 years I have simply been someone's wife or mom.

I guess I now know how he felt last year waiting while mine was being done. I am no less confident in his choice than I was in mine, just worried because he is my ❤ and my world. Please keep us in your prayers!
So one of the things I have noticed since becoming an averaged sized person is this: I can now feel the odd lumps and bumps under my skin. Now I am sure this is quite normal, and nothing mysterious or bad. The thing is I have been overweight more years of my life than not. In the years that I haven't I was young or not thin enough to notice....or care. Now that I am older (43) I notice these things. I guess I am just so much more aware of my body now, and wish I would have been this aware when ...
