Too much time has passed since I have provided you an update. Sorry about that.

The test results did come back from the Pulmunary Function Tests and the technician was right on. The lung disease has not progressed and the functions are all good. The bad part of that, which when put in perspective isn't really bad....if I weighed less I would probably be breathing better. So there it is, another healthy reminder of how important it is to control the things you can control. I wish I would have taken time to write that down before the Thanksgiving feast, maybe I would have made a different choice when it came to that second piece of pie.
No use looking into the past when it's the future that's in front of us.

I also had an appointment with a GI specialist since I last blogged. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for January 4th. I'm counting on dropping a few pounds that week. I will have to make sure I weigh in at Weight Watchers after the procedure. Amazing all the muscles that need to considered a when you have a "muscle disease".

Lately I have been thinking of all the little things that I have heard that help me make some of the choices I do each day and would like to share a few of them with you.

A couple weeks ago I was watching Dr. Phil and the author of "Tuesdays with Morrie" shared a story that just stuck with me.
He said, each morning when you wake up pretend there is a bird sitting on your shoulder. You say "Good Morning Bird" and the bird says "how would you live today if it was your last"?
Now, remember, this bird is not leading you to a money tree so don't go and quit your job.
However, kiss your spouse, smile at your neighbor, say Good Morning to your CoWorker and mean it, if you have kids decide if the last words your going to share with them are grumpy ones and here's a new thing that I heard once that I will try to never forget.....
You can never take words back once you let them out. You can however spend a lifetime trying to forgive yourself or someone else for words that hurt.

Don't do that to yourself or anyone else.

Finally, when someone asks you "How are you doing?", consider this response "my cup runneth over".

Have a great day.
My cup runneth over.
