Margo, for some reason from day one you have always had a special spot in my heart. And as time has gone on your spot has just gotten bigger and bigger. There is something about you that captured me and I couldn't tell you what it was. I am waiting and counting the days in which I can meet you for really real (I do something not good to the English language) and give you the big hugs that I have been wanting to give to you ever since day one.

Brenda...

Happy Surgiversary!! 

Thank you for your wise words you have posted here... while I don't post often ... I read almost everything that is written here. 

Helen

Thanks for the kind words. They mean so much to me and to my soul. I know that your journey is just beginning and I know deep in my heart that things are going to be just as good for you as they were for me if not better. Please post more often so we can all get to know you better. After all, you are one of us on here.

Congrats Brenda, You are rockin' it girl!!   

Thanks to you, Reggie, and know that you are rockin' it too, girl. You are doing just fantastic. It is such a joy to know that each morning when I get up life is one wonderful experience. I bring the happiness that this surgery has given to me and share it with everyone I come in contact with, even if it is smile at a stranger. Thanks again and it won't be long and we will be wishing the same happiness to you on your anniversary of your new life.

Everytime  I see your avitar, I read that post.
You are a support and inspiration to me as someone who loves God and takes what is given with a smile.
I kow that when I finally get this surgery I will put my all into it as you have and with the help of the Lord I WILL succeed.  Again congradulations!~ You are a great teacher to us newbies.

Sheri,I want to thank you for all of your kind words. I do love God with all my heart and soul and mind just as He asks me to do. I do not always take everything that He hands to me with a smile though. I don't like everything that is in front of me to do but it is my job to do them. I guess that is where I get the saying "We don't always have to like what we have to do, but we do have to do them".

I know that when you have your surgery you will do the best that you can do simply because you waited and anything worth waiting for is worth working for. It is work but it is good work. Some think it is the easier softer way but ask anyone who has had the surgery and they will tell you that is wrong.

 Congratulations, Brenda, upon reaching this milestone!  Your happiness shines through in your post....Best of luck in your continuing successing!!!!

Thanks so much for the kind words to me. I do feel like I reached a milestone and I guess in a way I have, haven't I? I never thought of it that way. It is kind of like my 1st birthday~the first birthday of my new life.
