Thank you for sharing this post and for helping me think on all of the wonderful blessings of getting the sleeve.

I added another one to my list last night.

45. Be able to wrap a regular sized bath towel around me.

Wow.. I love your list! So many things on there are on mine! Do yoga correctly, cross my legs, stop shopping at Lane Bryant because the clothes aren't very good quality and I've been mad at them since they changed their jean sizing to" 1 2 3 triangle" or whatever! I wear a swimsuit but it's really humiliating right now. Wrapping a normal size towel would be great instead of hunting down a "bath sheet". One thing I would add to my list is to ride a horse! I used to do that some as a kid and I haven't been able to as an adult for pity of the animal that would have to carry me. Riding a horse in the wine country.. now that sounds like fun!

LOL about the swimsuit. I still wear one too but I hate it. It's the walk of shame from when I take off my cover up and get into the pool and then the long journey back to my towel. I feel like all eyes are on me. And what there is to be seen is not pretty. Pretty embarrassing more like.
