Choosing The Song

Since this is really the most daring and scary and thrilling adventure I have ever been on, it deserves a theme song. "Free Bird" is just too melancholy. "Amazing Grace" ? "How Great Thou Art" ? hmm.. maybe this needs a new song.

 

Fear was the drink that filled my cup

yet thirst drove me on to partake.

I emptied the bowl and held my breath

waiting for something to break.

All that I dreaded did not come nye,

no demons of hate and guile.

Just my own little face looked back at me

with a wink, a nod, and a smile.

 

Yes, I have always been my own worse enemy, critic, what have you. Well, that has all been figuratively and literally changed with my VSG. This is going to be grand!

 

I want to use this blog as a recorder of my physical state but I think I will also have to use it for my spiritual, psychological, and emotional state.

  • not hungry (this is good. this is bad - it means I will have to think about what I eat. ok... this is good)
  • my daughter had to come rescue me today and took J & R for the weekend (2 grandchildren we are raising); thank you sweet daughter; J is severely developmentally delayed and my spirit broke - it just gets to be too much
  • the laundry needs to get done but no one is doing it. hello ? didn't you hear me crying and swearing about it this morning? *sigh* guess I'll do the laundry
  • it's so quiet in the house
  • am I losing it? hahaha... I punned myself

I can be my own worst enemy as well. Did you write those lyrics above? If so, you're a great writer!! I look forward to following your journey
