As I was entering new appts in my calendar, I stopped and thought to myself.. Hey, it's October!
I was banded in October!
Now when was that??
October 29, 2009!
How could I ever forget that life changing day!!
In just 1 week, I will be celebrating (and I do mean celebrating) my 4-year bandiversary.
I plan on posting a "THEN and NOW" comparison shot.
As I look back on the almost 600 posts since that day of decision, I recollect the journey.
And I certainly don't miss the almost 65 pounds I have left behind either.
Have I reached that goal I set out for myself 4 years ago? NO!
But that hasn't held me back from moving forward.
Life has thrown me quite a few curves my friends.
I am neither physically, mentally, nor emotionally the same person I was back in 2009.
But I don't want to dis that year.. it was a good year!
And what I would give to re-live some of those years..
But move forward I must.
I have one grand baby here and TWO MORE ANY DAY (yes, twin boys are making there way)... SOON!
So, I am going to take the next week to reflect and then on my actual bandiversary day, share what I know for sure about living with the band....
be well
Big hugs
Barbara

Oh Barbara! This post touched my heart! Looking forward to seeing your bandiversary posting and hearing about those twin babies!!! How exciting! My niece just had twins (a boy and a girl) and my other niece (her sister) is expecting a little girl any day now. Babies bring such joy and are beautiful reminders of how precious life is. Onward!
