Christmas Eve

One year ago, I weighed 278 pounds, had constant back and knee pain, and high blood pressure and sleep apnea. Today I weigh 189 pounds, no knee pain, very little back pain, my blood pressure is better as is my sleep apnea. I have a wonderful nephew, who is a year old, that I can crawl on the floor with and keep up with, which I never would have been able to do a year ago. I have another wonderful nephew, who came home from the Marines and wanted to know who was impersonating his Aunt LeeLee. And I have a beautiful niece who I can go all day and night with on band activities without having to sit and rest. I have made some wonderful friends this year, and fell in love with an amazing man. There were some struggles as well, but all in all, it's turned out to be a pretty great year. I have so much to be thankful for and I hope that you all do as well. Merry Christmas to all of you and may your 2010 be blessed.
