Morning, after ready Margo's post, I must confess...

That I too, will be jumping off the cliff with hopefully a leap of faith here in a few minutes to a job interview that will change career directions for me. Yes, a few short years ago, I would have only dreamed of what I am about to do. But you know, with some of the attitude some of us gain with WLS, what was a dream yesterday can very well be reality today. So off I go here in a few. I have been in a frantic search of my house for birth certificates that are required, but luckily, the state of New Mexico came through with a copy delivered yesterday by a cute little fella in those blue shorts. To the department of Vital Records......I THANK YOU. Anyway, back to the point in hand. Margo, and many others, I think we have to constantly remind ourselves and each other that: WE CAN DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING WE SET OUR MINDS TO. Within reason, that is. For we took the first step in doing such months and years ago when we decided to make ourselves accountable for ourselves, our lives, health and general well-being and had WLS. For many of us, this has been one mind-blowing experience and a hell of a ride. It has had many twists and turns, highs and lows, and general eye-opening revelations for all of us. And the one thing it has displayed for me is: I AM ME AND I CAN GIVE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ONE HELL OF A SHOT IF I SO PLEASE. So I am leaving here and going to this interview with butterflies galore in my stomach, nervous as a long tail cat in a room filled with rocking chairs agoing, and guts to do give it all I have got. I know what I am capable of doing, KNOW MY FAULTS, but still I am human and giving it a shot. For the "what ifs" in life can drive you crazy. So folks, we can do it. Yes, it is a leap of faith. A BIG ONE. But so is life in general. Everybody have a great day, love to all and I will let you know how things come out. The other aspects of my life are dog-paddling as well, but that is another story. Best to you each and everyday, Bea

GOOD LUCK you qwill do awesome! and I love ya!!!! SISTA!

Good luck. We will be waiting to hear how things turned out.

As always Bea...I wish the very best of luck to you and wish for only the best for you!! Hope it went well today...Cap'n K-Man
