Talk about crying....

Last night on my way home from work I was listening to the radio. Okokok so that is a pretty common thing for my ride home- de-stress while singing along with whatever comes on. The Diana Ross song "I'm coming out" came on. The next thing I knew it hit me... We all are coming out... Coming out of our old bodies, our old lives, our old ways of living ! Maybe our lives before were wonderful and perfect in so many ways but we have the most amazing chance to make it all different now... better, more healthy, more happy... longer ! I was proud of myself for making the choice to take action and have WLS and proud of all you who are somewhere in the journey ! Thanks for sharing your stories, advice and suggestions and for being the best support group I could ever ask for ! Hope that your weekends are wonderful ! (If you get two minutes check out the lyrics!)

I have a song that does the same exact thing to me!! Every single time I hear "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson, I get sooo overwhelmed and tear up! Here are the words for you that have never heard it! "Breakaway" Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreaming of what could be And if I'd end up happy I would pray (I would pray) Trying hard to reach out But when I tried to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanted to belong here But something felt so wrong here So I prayed I could break away [Chorus:] I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky And I'll make a wish Take a chance Make a change And breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk Take a chance Make a change And breakaway Wanna feel the warm breeze Sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get onboard a fast train Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will) And breakaway [Chorus] Buildings with a hundred floors Swinging around revolving doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but Gotta keep moving on, moving on Fly away, breakaway I'll spread my wings And I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye I gotta take a risk Take a chance Make a change And breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget the place I come from I gotta take a risk Take a chance Make a change And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway Tiffany
