LAST NIGHT I WENT TO BED WITH MARK BECAUSE HE WAS TIRED.  I WASN'T.  I LAID THERE FOR AWHILE AND CONSIDERED GETTING UP AND SLEEPING ON THE SOFA.

WHICH REMINDED ME OF THE YEARS,YEARS I COULD NOT SLEEP IN THE BED.   NOW IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING SERIOUS TO TAKE ME OUT OF OUR BED.

IT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT HIM .  IT IS NOT THAT I NEVER DID THINK ABOUT WHAT HE WENT THROUGH.  I JUST SEE MORE OF THE BEFORE AND AFTER AND I FEEL FOR HIM.   HOW MUST HE HAVE FELT.  HE WAS THERE EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT ME. HE HEARD ME SICK  EVERY NIGHT.  HE COULD DO NOTHING.  HE HAD TO LAY THERE AND WONDER IF HE WAS GOING TO LOSE ME.   EVEN NOW WHEN I STRUGGLE HE WORRIES.  HE SPENT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AFTER NIGHT WITHOUT ME NEXT TO HIM AND ALONE.

SOME OF OUR BEST TIMES ARE AT NIGHT.  LOTS OF TIMES WE SHOULD BE SLEEPING BUT WE ARE LAUGHING AND JOKING.  IT IS SOMETHING I REALLY CHERISH.  OUR MR AND MRS FUN.

WE DID NOT HAVE THAT.   HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS WIFE EITHER.

I WAS BARELY FUNCTIONING FOR YEARS. I TRIED TO NOT THINK OF IT.  I WAS SO SICK I WAS JUST ON AUTO PILOT. 

THAT WAS HARD ON US BOTH.  WHEN THE WORST WAS OVER I WILL ADMIT I HAD A HARD TIME BEING HIS WIFE AGAIN. I DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS.  HE ALMOST LOST ME THEN TOO.   I NEVER LOST HIM. 

HE NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS,  NOT IF BUT WHEN,  LIKE I DID.

 I SURVIVED AND IT IS MOSTLY BEHIND ME.  I WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY BRAIN TUMOR AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH IT.  IT CAN ALWAYS START GROWING AGAIN.  I AM NO LONGER FIGHTING FOR MY  LIFE.   WE ARE US AGAIN. WE ARE HAPPIER THAN WE HAVE EVEN BEEN.  HE HAS HIS WIFE BACK.  I HAVE ME BACK.  I NO LONGER HAVE ONE FOOT OUT OF THE DOOR.  I KNOW I AM TOO HONEST. WE ALL GO THROUGH THINGS.  EVERY BAD THING IS SOMETHING TOO LEARN FROM.  THE ONLY TRAGEDY ABOUT THE AWFUL THINGS IN LIFE IS IF YOU DON'T LEARN, BUILD, AND USE IT FOR STRENGTH.

I WILL GET TO MY POINT.  I WANT EVERYONE TO SEND MARK SOME LOVE.  I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE OR IF YOU KNOW HIM OR NOT.  TELL HIM GOOD JOB.  TELL HIM HE IS WONDERFUL.  TELL HIM I APPRECIATE HIM NEVER LEAVING MY SIDE NO MATTER HOW MEAN OR UGLY OR HURTFUL.  HE NEVER LEFT.

SO PLEASE PLEASE..GIVE HIM SOME LOVE.  HE DESERVES IT.  WE ALL DESERVE IT.  NONE OF US KNOWS IF WE HAVE THE NEXT MOMENT.  SO I WANT TO MAKE ALL OF MY RIGHT NOWS COUNT.   SPREAD THE LOVE!

HAPPY :-D EVERYDAY!!

sorry out of sync..

stepping stones

we don't have money to travel

but we can get a passport for when the day comes

we can't even afford a passport right now

i am making  steps forward..

 we don't have the money right now but we will

QUICK

short term

life is life so be it..  dig it and dance

so to get what i want in the big picture i need to tend to small pictures

i need to get healthier

i have come a long long way

but i am obese

i need to find a way to lose weight

i can't seem to lose any after my hysterectomy

in hind sight i wish i would have taken g's advice and taken the alternative route and kept my parts

but i was suffering and didn't have the strength for that

but i wish i would have tried

but too late..that ship sailed 

on spilled milk a long time ago!

combining  silly phrases!!

i need to be more strict on how i eat.  cutting out grains has really helped me feel much better.  but i need to try harder to  keep out the sugar and carbs.  the biggest thing is increasing what i eat.  i need more veggies. i need to not use lack of funds and winter as an excuse.  the SFW takes effect.. so what fresh veggies are harder to find.. buy smaller amounts..get a few kinds make a veggie soup or stew or even a pickled salad.  i don't really eat that much sugar.  it is not so much what i eat but what i am not eating.

and exercise.  recently i am just moving whenever and however i can.  i am not stressing over..well i only did 10 minutes.. and i am not letting no space stop me.  I'll run in place, i even do jumping jacks..kind of .  my right shoulder won't go that high.  i even dance and do the twist. whatever i do i will do it fast then slow then fast again.. get my breathing going and my heart rate up.

next is getting rid of the clutter and mess...this is a bigger problem than me but g says i have everything i need so i guess it is just another part of me i haven't tapped yet.

so i will tap it.

saying something

 g told me to get this book.  it came on Dec. 30th.
i have only read about a dozen or so pages and it is great so far.
it is a part of my journey.
i keep repeating old bad habits and painful patterns.
one day i hope to be free from all of the habitual pains i let happen

one in particular.



we had a great new year's eve.
i smiled the whole night and i didn't drink
i feel strong and determined

i don't have much to say right now
i have things i don't wish to express

i am making baby steps now forward to
the things i want

it is not a list like go to the store
balance the check book
some of it is like
visit New York city

another part of it to live
to breath and live in joy
to make up for the years i lived in pain
because i thought i was safer there
