, fairs, being normal

April 23, 2004

, this sounds so familiar! In a really happy way! I no

longer go to restaurants and worry about whether I can sit in a

booth. I don't worry about slipping in my car when some

inconsiderate twit parks too close to my driver's side. I just hold

the door carefully as far as I can without hitting the other car and

shimmy back and forth and I can actually get in without tearing

anything or feeling as if the world is watching and laughing. I can

go through the turnstile at the zoo and not have to turn sideways to

avoid banging my hips. And though I haven't gone to an amusement

park yet, I'm really looking forward to the day I do because I KNOW

I'll fit on every ride! Being normal, being average, being size 14,

is one of the greatest gifts God has blessed me with. Yes, I'm

human and we always want more and I'd really love to get to size 12

or 10, but I truly have nothing to complain about. Life is

wonderful (except when I eat too much popcorn like I did last night)

and I am so happy! And I'm so happy for YOU! I know what you're

feeling and there's nothing like it!

Hugs!
