I can think of wanting to ride a horse again, or a mountian bike, or being able to spike a vollyball. <br /><br />That poem was moving. Hopefully I can get moving and figure out where my wings are. <br /><br />After all Foolsfitness is all about the wings...

My goodness I love that picture of us on the side---Isn't that crazy to actually "love" a picture? very different perspective.<br />With all of our struggles over the last 22 years, our wings are strong enough to take us as high as we want to go baby.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this. And, uh--- I believe I schooled you in the racquetball court. You're settin' your self up for a major racquetball behind whippin' someday soon.<br />Ugh about the 12 hour shifts---but I'll be patient and wait for those fantastic 6 days straight you'll have off!<br /><br />Love you girl,<br />SeanSean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958925393850691913.post-90762246482522991132009-08-28T06:34:10.712-07:002009-08-28T06:34:10.712-07:00When I think of butterflies, I think of the butter...When I think of butterflies, I think of the butterfly that killed my father.<br /><br />No, no... stop crying. Horace is okay. He wasn't really killed by a butterfly. But wouldn't that have been super ironic if he had been?<br /><br />Hmmmm, maybe I better call him and make sure he's okay. It would have been even more ironic if something happened to him and I was over here saying he'd been done in by a butterfly.<br /><br />Now I'm all worried.

Its so true. If losing weight was not a fight, every one of us would never appreciate what it took to get to our goals, and then we'd never stick around long enough to enjoy the fruits of our labors. <br /><br />Prayers that you get through your 12's and back to a resting point so we'll hear from you again!<br /><br />lots of love!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462280506557043575noreply@blogger.com
