~ The other night in a crowded restaurant, not having to find the widest place between tables to walk.

~ Crossing my legs.

~ Walking around the house in a normal-sized towel and having it stay put.

~ Buying a size women's small motorcycle jacket.

~ Lying in bed and lift my head just a little and being able to see my feet.

~ Sitting comfortably in a bathtub.

~ Having an itch in the middle of my back and being able to reach it... having an itch almost anywhere and being able to reach it.

~ My lover's arms go all the way around me and she can carry me around the room on her back!!!

Feeling my spine for the first time this morning.

Feeling collar and hip bones.

Sitting in student desks comfortably (and even being able to slide the desk around).

Sitting in a chair at the bank today without touching the arms.

Having the woman at the bank tell me that the picture on my credit card does not look anything like me.

Getting close to 200 . . . 

Working out at the gym for an hour and not feeling like I am going to die walking up to car

Being able to focus on people, not the spread of tasty foods at a party

1) Crossing my legs...every time I sit now I cross my legs and then stare at them...LOL

2) Crossing my arms...it's my favorite way to stand now...people think I'm being standoffish, but I don't care

3) Feeling my collarbone...the first time I felt the indent I took a picture with my cellphone and sent it to my mother....thank God for understanding and loving moms...lol

4) An old friend I said hi to today literally took a second look before answering me...he didn't recognize me

5) Sitting in our auditorium at work during a staff meeting and measuring the room between me and the sides of the seat...lol...I didn't pay any attention to the meeting
