Well, it's hot in Houston and that leads to staying inside most of the time. I haven't written in a long while and there may some wondering what's the deal. The deal is...life, stressors, challenges, daily stuff getting in the way and dog paddling on course.
The folks I bowl with are still smiling over my changed looks. They call me 'skinny' and smile from ear to ear. I am a much smaller me than in the past and I'm still very pleased with that. However, you've heard the term 'stuff happens' -- it does.
And, lately 'stuff' has been getting in the way. Momentarily, I guess I've lost the 'happy' in my eyes and smile. Not sure where it's retreated, but I'm sure it will return one of these days. So, a picture is worth a thousand words, but I refuse to post a smile without 'happy' attached.
I'm searching for it high and low with confidence it's within reach. When I find it, I'll share it again. Until then, I'm continuing to do various things in order to 'jump start' the loss again.
I hope every reader is having a great summer of fun...perhaps traveling or engaged in a new project you love.
For me, I'll keep searching until I recapture the happy piece of my life. Until then, if you run into that 'piece', would ya send it UPS special delivery? It'll be appreciated.
On March 12, 2009, I was banded with the lap band. I lost a total of 46 lbs. and after one year, gained it back. Frustrated, fat, and aggravated, time marched on. As a 'senior' now, my realization of the true meaning of life has come clear. I did not retire wealthy, I retired. I have time, no gold...it's time to reflect from the inner self out into the world.
About Me
- txspatter
- Humble, Texas, United States
- Retired educator, retired freelance photographer, retired life. I loved the classroom, laughter of the students, small successes that made them glow and the feeling of 'family' among faculty. However, job done and on to new things. Life was on 'cruise control' until March, 2004...and then, there was a halting screech, lung and heart issues and physicians galore. But, I beat the odds and HERE I AM...STILL HUFFIN' AND PUFFIN'!!! Let's see where this leads.....
