Another year
Hi Everyone! Today is my (gulp) 60th birthday. As I reflect on another year, I realize how blessed I am, and how my life has changed so much since I had WLS. While I have had a few brief moments of "Oh my God, I'm a senior citizen!", I feel younger and more alive that I did at 30, 40, 50. I can move, I can be present in life. I can do things with my family that I never could before. I guess, those few moments today have been regretting the wasted years, when I wasn't so alive. I wish I could take those years back as I am now, not as I was. But, I truly am so grateful that, as I celebrate today, I do so with continued hope for the future, and feeling fully present in life, not just a spectator who was miserable in her own skin. Mary

Thanks everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! I had an awesome day. Where I work gives you your birthday off, so my husband took the day off to and we went to lunch at our favorite restaurant and then to the movies. My sweet daughters made me breakfast in bed and not only was it delicious, but on plan! Friends came over for dinner tonight and we had lots of laughs. I feel so loved and blessed.
