I AM A 60 (ALMOST 61) YEAR OLD GRANDMA. I was diagnosed with Lupus in my mid 20's. I have struggled through this complication in my life for a long time. But, miraculously about 18 months ago, I got better. This is I BELIEVE, a gift from GOD. A gift I hope I am living up to.

The first month of feeling better, dare I say WELL. I finished 8 projects that had been sitting on my table. I started the emense project of downsizing my home. I had a huge sale, with the help of family and friends, and donated everything (except 10 items I decided I could not live without)that was left. My stuff benifited many and lightened my already happy heart.

I have started and finished many projects since then. I was let go from my job, another gift. I am not sure where I would find the time to work now and am so gratful for being fired. About 10 minutes after leaving my job, I decided that I was meant to travel a new path and have never looked back to that fork in the road.

I have stuggled many times to take my weight off and I make no promises now. My plan is to take one day, one hour, one minute at a time and do the best that I can. I thank God for every miracle in my life and I have been blessed with many, the biggest and best one is my wonderful family.
I am trying to get healthy, and to "Treat the world well. It was not given to you by your parents, but lent to you by your children

UPDATE 2016
I keep hanging in here, hoping for the inspiration to get to goal! I'm a little older, a whole lot busier! And I LOVE MY LIFE!! I just would like to change the package, my body. It would be tons easier to do all the things I enjoy to do, if I was thinner. I weighted in this morning in my TOPS group, I also belong to Weight Watchers. I attend on different days, hoping to keep my motivation up!
