It's been an amazing year. I'm so thrilled w/ my sleeve & what it's allowed me to do. Not only am I looking better, I'm feeling great...confident! I'm working on moving my life forward instead of hiding in the shadows like I've done these past several years. I've wanted to TEACH for the longest time... glass... & now I'm getting ready to teach my first class in November & I'm feeling so positive about it... confident that I'll do just fine & that everyone will be happy that they spent the money to learn from me.
Confident, too, in having pictures taken of me. A year ago, April 2012, I considered NOT going to North Carolina to surprise my older sister on her 50th birthday along w/ the rest of my family because I knew that we'd be doing family pictures, it had been several years since we'd all been together. Seriously, I wasn't going to go specifically because of that. I'm glad I went, it was a special time w/ all of us together, but I still cringe when I see the pictures... they got posted to Facebook, of course, & I UNtagged myself in each & every one of them, but not before others saw them.... plus they're still out there, just not on my page. I see those pictures of me from then & I don't even connect myself to her. HER... not ME, but HER. I didn't feel like ME back then... sad, huh? Anyway... just went back to NC for my grandma's funeral & we were all together again & took lots of fun pictures.... I felt great & it showed in the pics. (top pic is a BEFORE from April 2012)
I even met up w/ some old junior high friends from Ohio on our way back home. I've been hiding from them forever... was so great to see them.
Anyway... feeling good. Healthwise, I feel great. Aches & pains in legs & such are gone.
Life is good.
Here's to another fabulous year of positive changes!!
Till next time...
