Well, I might as well enter something, since I now have a journal--maybe it will be a good way for me to release all of my many thoughts! Laid awake in bed from 4:30 to 6:00 this morning--just thinking about how fast time goes, thankful that I am 7 weeks post surgery--hurray!!! and that I actually made it!!!! And that soon I'll be going back to work!! Really trying to appreciate my last days of being at home, taking it easy!!! Laid there thinking about my life years ago---how fast time flies by-- feeling sad, but happy too about all the times in my life! Isn't it something how we never really know where life will take us. How scary to think back of 20 years ago, it really doesn't seem that long ago, I can remember events of my life in such detail!! And then get scared to think that in another 20 years I will be over 60 years old!! That scares me because that sounds so old, just like 40 used to sound so old!! I mean, my Dad died at 68 years old, so when I think of that, I don't have much time!!! If I'm fortunate enough to make it that long!!!! But who really knows?!?!?? I'm just so thankful for all the wonderful times I've had in my life and hope to soon feel better so I can have many more wonderful times!!! I can't wait to start to feel better and be able to work out and try to get in better shape again!!! Just hard to do now, since just a little bit of activity still gets my back hurting!! Oh well,, guess I now know what people mean when they say--one day at a time.... that's really all we have anyway!
