Morning All,

It seemed like forever till there was group support meeting just because of Jan. being a long month.

Yeah, January was a looonnnng month.

So, this is the day of HEARTS! Bubbles for some!

It has been a dark, cold, painfull journey or it has been full of joy, excitement, love ,trust and knowledge given.

I didn't want to go to group last night even though I had been wanting it and waiting for it. So when the time came ... I just didn't care to go.

Then with surgery I MUST DO IT .. Till I get it.

So my willingness ruled over my willfullness.

Again group was as different as the world around us.

Pre-ops, very early post-ops and those 3 years out.

Young to old , I being the oldest yes, not too many there pushing the BIG 6 OH!

It is sometimes hard ... aah . . sometimes! To LISTEN.


I really needed to listen and not judge even with my fears, and issues of trust and safety.

So now you know I do trust and feel safe or I would not be writing this.

I left not knowing if I did really listen but I did ask a couple of questions ... with the .. nuuch of other angels.

Yeah, there are NO dumb questions... just needed to really listen to the answers.

Knowledge is a powerful thing.. Last night's knowledge soothed my fears, calmed my doubts and gave me LOTS of warning signs for my daily journey to a new healthy life. You know that fear of .. I will Fail at this TOO! Why did I do this if I will fail.. YEAK!

Thank you all for the knowledge you shared and the gifts I got from that knowledge.

Doing it till I GET IT! That old saying ..walk like a duck .. talk like a duck... YOUR A DUCK!

So I will walk and talk like my journey map says.. but may end up still a duck but a healthy DUCK!

Sidebar... Duck or Ducky or Bird is an English term for young good looking woman.

May you All have a lovely HEARTS DAY I am off to blow bubbles,

MJ

MJ, sweetie, you are one in a million.  Valentines?  At MY age?  I felt like a kid again!  And the bubbles?  I had to snarl like a pit bull at my kids to keep their mitts off MY BUBBLES!!! I'm so glad you came last night, even though I really didn't get a chance to talk with you - just looking over at your smiling (and at times laughing!) face brings a smile to ME!  For all your struggles and issues, you are an amazing example of our ability to make our lives better at any age!  (You may THINK you're old, but you act like a silly little kid at times - and I LOVE that about you!!!)  Happy Valentine's Day, sweet thang!
