Happy Kidney Day To Me!

Well, today is my 5 year transplant anniversary! I can't believe it has been 5 years. So many great things have happened since that day, and I have my brother to thank for it all. I wonder where I would be, or if I would be if it wasn't for him? No, I can't think about that, I'll get all crazy emotional. I am just so thankful to have my life.

It's Time

I have put this off for too long now. It is time for me to get my body into shape. It is starting take a toll on my sanity and my happiness. I haven't even tried to get into shape in so long. I am mad at myself for letting my body go. I hate telling people I am staring a diet, because I always end up failing. Well, this is the end of my road of lying to myself, lying to Dan and lying to anyone I ever said "I am going to get in shape". It has gotten to the point that Dan doesn't even bat and eyelash when i say it anymore, because I am sure he just thinks it's nothing but words, and i won't do anything about it. That is a hard realization, that I have been lying to everyone, especially myself. No more.

The Secret

You can completely transform any relationship,no matter what it's like right now. Every single relationship you have is a reflection of how you feel inside about you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship you have and every interaction with every person, is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment.

To transform every single relationship you have in your life:

Fall in love with YOU!(you must love yourself deeply).

Make lists of hundreds and hundreds of wonderful things about you. Keep adding to it every day.

Know that you are perfect.(do not think any negative thoughts about you).

Know that you are worthy and deserving of anything and everything you could possibly want in your life.

Focus on the wonderful things in every person. Look for only those things.

Do not blame or criticize anybody, ever.

Set an intention that you are going to see the best in everything and everyone.

Make your happiness the number one thing in your life.(Happiness is an inside job.)

Free yourself of the responsibility of trying to make other people happy(respect and love them enough to allow them to take care of their own happiness).

Get your attention off those things in others that don't make you feel good.

Appreciate and love yourself in every moment you can.

Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. Release yourself
forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness and it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.

Love and respect yourself completely.

Know that you are PERFECT right now.

Just For You, Lisa!!!

Harry Potter is coming in July!!! I am an admitted Harry Potter lover. Me and my sister Lisa have read them all, and never miss seeing the movies together on opening night. I'm not ashamed! I found this picture and had to post it for Lisa. Don't you love it, Lis.

Eva and Kayla

Whenever I get down about not having kids of my own, I look at these two angels. These are my sisters girls Eva (6) and Kayla (1). They are the most beautiful, sweetest, funniest kids ever. And they love me alot, so that makes me like them even more.

Eva is doing amazing in school, reading like crazy. I went to her Valentines Day party at her school on wednesday and had the best time helping the kids, and watching her with her friends. The kids were so funny. I can't wait until I have a can experience all those things with my kids.

Kayla is so funny, she never cries and loves to snuggle. She can say dada, kitty and bark like a dog. She throws stuff constantly just to say "Uh Oh". She wants to walk, but can't just yet.

They sure make my life alot better.

Prince Harry and Prince William

I couldn't find a picture of Willie, but here is a picture of Harry when he was just 11 weeks old. He was the cutest puppy ever, and continues to be a wonderful dog. If you could see him right now, he is sleeping next to me and he looks just like this picture, only 40 pounds heavier!

Beverly Poet

I changed my profile to black, because that is how I am feeling today. The world lost a wonderful woman, Beverly Poet, on Saturday. She was more than just a great person. She had a way of making me feel special, beautiful, loved and important. She was an amazing writer, who could make you feel every word she wrote. She will never be gone, because she had a way of touching everybody she met. I know there is not a person who knew her who didn't feel impacted by her spirit.
