knowing that God did not bring me this far to leave me now
knowing that when the world goes out, God and His word will always be there
being surprised
lil lady had a sub for one of her classes and the sub said they could do what she wanted and she decided to txt me *huge smile*
lil lady's boyfriend txts me to say thank you and that he loves me
feeling like a little girl in his big, strong arms
an email from jus.b.fli to say, "I Love You"
an email from believer1964 to ask me if i'd like to do a guest post on her blog
a voicemail from The Man saying, "hi sweetie pie"
a call from The Man where i realized it was him after i answered and before he spoke, and greeted him with a cheery, "hi honey"
another call at work from The Man where he paused after i said, "hi, this is Blu" and made sure he made enough noise for me to realize it was him so i could say, "hi honey"
graduating from doing 30 pushups a day to now being able to do 40
successfully losing almost 12lbs
the shock and awe on someone's face when they realized i was not 29, but 41
lunch with a dear friend who saw me through my tears and encouraged me
a call from the same dear friend who called me to tell me that God will handle it all for me
my pending "girls day" with my 63 year old friend Robin; she's so crazy
realizing how strong he is
IPRs (Involuntary Physical Responses) *giggle*
that certain feeling right there *devilish giggle*
going to my support group and know that it's okay for me to "act out"
the random and crazy txts from The Mayor (moniker for cuz's bf)
the txt from my cuz (The Mayor's girl) telling me not to worry about what they're doing after i received the crazy txt from her man
looking in my freezer at all the food my mum cooked for me while she was in NJ last week
knowing that mum has my back
fussing at doing lil lady's laundry, but doing it anyway

You can do 40 pushups? I am so jealous.

And OMG... You're going to see Robin???? Please please please tell her "hello" for me. Do you have an email address for her?
(PS: I see you're still rolling down that hill. Did you happen to see The Man on the way down?... Because he's probably rolling faster than you are.)
