There IS light at the end of the tunnel!!

Well here I am, Day 17!  Only 4 days left until I am done my Opti-Fast fasting, and only 5 until my surgery!  I can't believe how fast (pun intended!) this has gone!  I thought that it was going to be much worse than it was, but I am actually surviving!

My sweet mama got here yesterday, and I am so happy to have her here!  She will be here for at least a few weeks to help me recover, and I am SO thankful to her!  Not only does my daughter adore her, it's been SO great to have someone here to help me out with the kiddos as I have been battling some severe tummy issues as I near the end of this.  Knowing that someone is here to make sure my little girl is safe just means so much!  It is just one less thing to have to worry about :)  I don't know what I would do without her!  I'm so very lucky to have her.  She has always been so supportive and helpful, always pitching in where she can.  I'm such a lucky girl!  I guess I am also pretty lucky that my dad was able to spare her for a month :)  Thanks, Chief! 

As I near my surgery date, I am keeping my life as stress-free as possible.  I am doing things that I love (Pampered Chef, shopping with my mama, spending time with my hubby and of course, playing with my beautiful little girl!), doing a lot of mental cleansing, meditating and enjoying life to the fullest.  I am so excited to begin this new chapter, and I am starting it with a whole new mindset.  I have a beautiful friend, Tina, who has been such an inspiration to me over the years, and how she made a decision to change her life.  I was the fortunate winner of a free copy of the e-book that she wrote, and I have been trying to save it as a treat for when I am recovering next week, but I keep peeking at it!  I am so excited to read it!!  (You should, too!  http://the40by40.com/landing/the-decision/). Her story is so inspiring and beautiful, and I can't wait to read more!  I love the thought of making a decision to change your way of life, your thoughts and your attitude.  One more new change coming up in my new life!!

I am getting so close!  I'll keep you posted!!
