I just HAVE to share
I know I promised that I would not bore you with ALL the wows on a daily basis - but - this is the same day so it doesn't count right?!?!?!?! OMG!!!!! I am absolutely kvelling....(Beaming with pride for those of you who forgot what that was....)
I just came back from a 1.5 hour stream hike. And this was not just any stream. It was with fast moving water, at times the water was up to my waist, I was the oldest there by at least 11 years, and I did NOT fall once! I did complain a lot - but that was just so people wouldn't forget that there was an old lady amongst these youngins! I can't believe I did it! I was sooooo NOT going to go - really - who would want me to go on a stupid stream hike anyway - turns out - they wanted me to go and talked me into it. (It didn't take much - I am more than wiling to try new things these days.) I got to share about my weight loss, talk and educate some people about weight loss surgery, and talk about a true addiction. And did I mention - I did NOT fall...what?!?! I mentioned this already - yeah - well, I DID NOT FALL!!!!!! That is huge!!!! Others with way more experience than me fell....but not me! :) This was with people in their 20's. They were as proud of me as I am of myself!
Ok - I am done for the moment - not sure if there will be any more major moments tonight - WAHOO!!!!!!! I am so definitely going to try the climbing thing at some point this summer! :)

WOW, girl... that's AMAZING! Good for you, not only for managing to not fall, but for having the courage to go in the first place. it actually sounds like FUN! And I'll bet they talked you into it knowing how much fun you'd have and how much enjoyment you'd bring to others.
Amazing new life, isn't it!?
