Thank You

To Melinda R. And Shelia B., Thank you for such kind words. And I hope that your dating and relationships start out in the pink as mine has done. I Know that you two will find great friends and mates in the futures.Or your current relationships will be the better for your having this surgery or are going to have this surgery. Because you two have such great positive attiudes and nice manners and a great out look on life that men should watch out you are going to knock them dead in their tracks. Thank You so very much for your kind words to me. But right now I think I am going to reframe from dating for a while. I had a nice time with my date last Friday. But I feel that I got to work on myself for a while. I am still losing and finding things I want to inprove on myself. You know that saying can not go forward until one is happy with one's self. And right now I am still confused about my emotions and the losing weight thing too. I am not use to the attention or the encouragement from friends and family. I got to work on that. But I am treating each day like a new day for me. I am trying to get use to the new me. Melinda R. You are always nice and you look so great. You have us if you need a little or a lot of encouragement and self esteem booster too. Because your current picture looks really great. You are not looking around because my brother saw your picture and said that you look really good. And he is married so you have to look good for a married man to say that in front of his sister. Way to go! Keep up the good work. Shelia B. You are such a nice person. Thanks for the positive words ,that is so really nice of you to say them to me. I am really thankful to have such a great friend in you. If you need to talk or need advice on anything let me know. I am always a key board away. Your friend, Tina Cannon

Tina, I have been married for almost sixteen years and I will say it has not been easy and still very challenging. There are days that I do not know if my marriage will last to see another year, but amazingly it does. Therefore, I believe that you are very smart to focus on yourself and figure out your emotions, because I know that my self esteem has been very low for many years and I wonder if my husband will be able to handle it and my close friends wonder the same thing. I am a firm beliver that the Lord will provide for us and if we Let go and Let God handle things in our life he will take care of it for us. Therefore, give it to him. I read your other entry about your problems with your sister and all the stress you are going through right now as well, and the advice everyone gave you is perfect. I have faced a lot of challenges in my life alone and have made a lot of mistakes, as well as a lot of good hard choices, maybe one day I will share them with you, but for now I will say, strong, trust and believe in yourself, because you are the one person that must face God in the end with what you have done and that is what matters. Your friend, Shelia
