You. Yes, you.

You are PERFECT today, you are fine just the way you are. Not when you have more money, not when you own a larger house or nicer car, not when you have lost weight, can afford a vacation or find that special love.................. but today!! Feel good about yourself, find all the positive and enjoy being YOU today!!!

Not my circus not my monkeys. Very wise words tied up in a silly verse.

And even if the monkeys happen to be YOUR monkeys, or monkeys you love and cherish, you can not control them, that is impossible. Only person you truly control, is yourself.

So, strive every day to find the good in your life, the positive in those you love and make each day pleasant and memorable. We are only given a set amount of time on this earth, so don't waste even a day, even a hour, even a minute............... Live to the fullest.

Thank you. I needed that today!!!!!

Wow

Great post 

What's the latest on your weight loss surgery?? Do you have a date???

Hi! Thanks for asking.

Everything was put into a holding pattern when I finally became employed at the end of May, but lost Medicaid. The new job doesn't offer any benefits. It's nice to have a steady income but scary not to have medical insurance. I finally found medical insurance through the MarketPlace for the Affordable Care Act.  It starts 9/1/15. With any luck I will have surgery in December. 

Great. Do your best to make good choices now so you will be ready when your time comes for surgery. I hope you love your new job.

Best wishes!!

thank you for the sweet post.

you made my day.

PERFECT? Who, meeee? *sniffs armpit* I do smell a bit like a monkey. 

Nicely put, and oh so true. Thanks for posting.
