OMG I crossed my legs !!!!

the other night I was watching TV and my husband came into the room and stood in front of me and said "ive never seen you do that before" I said "what?"

he pointed at my legs and I realised I HAD THEM CROSSED !!!!!!!!!!:)

Its been years and years since I had done that and I did it without even thinking about it

then I thought about all what I could do that I couldnt do a year ago

like

prepare the dinner without sitting down at the worktop

stand and wash the dishes without leaning on the sink and doing them with one hand.

walk to the bottom of our small garden without worrying how I was going to make it back

breathe easier

walk up stairs and not have to plonk myself down on the bed to get my breath back

go upstairs for something without thinking about it and psyching myself up for the journey

reach all parts of myself in the shower without using a long handled brush

wearing shoes two sizes smaller so much more choice

clothes 7 sizes smaller again much more choice

the list is endless I think.

wonderful isnt it

three cheers for my band my true and trusted friend

:clap2: :clap2:

hurrah!

I know the power of the List of NSVs full well. It is pretty stong stuff to be able to read over your NSV list any time you are feeling down, or heck, when you want just a small pick-me-up.

Congrats on your list, and here's hoping that this next year will bring you many more NSVs.

I have to admit, that is on of the things I'm most looking forward to (crossing my legs) I carry my weight in my hips and thighs so I can't wait to be able to do that!! Good for you!! :)
