Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hello everyone: This milestone is a happy one. Tonight I did something I'd always wanted to but was too fat, out of shape and shy to do in the past. I joined a square dancing club, and tonight was the first meeting. I went by myself and met nice people and had so much fun. Just two short years ago (when I started this process) my life was work, home, work, home. I had no outside interests other than TV and movies. Now I have a life. Last week I volunteered at a Street Fair to benefit my church, and I joined a social group through my church. Now I've joined a square dancing group, and later this month I will be inducted as a member of the church I've been attending. Now I have no time for TV. I used to watch TV programs and wish I had the lives that people led there. Now I don't have to watch TV to get that kind of feeling because I'm living the dream. It's amazing. I was smiling the whole time we were learning the doci does and allemand lefts, etc. Several older members approached me just to get to know me and be friendly. They just wanted to make sure that I was having a good time. Life is no longer passing me by. I'm living it and loving every minute. How blessed am I to have the chance to experience life from a whole different perspective. I'll close with a thought that inspired me today: " When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be solid ground to stand on, or you will be taught to fly. " --Author Unknown I've found the solid ground. I'm learing how to fly. I've got so much to be thankful for. Gemello -148 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
