Happy Tuesday buddies!

I happened to notice this morning that tomorrow will be my 6 month anniversary on buddy slim!! 6 months! WOW?
rn

This of course, brought on a slew of thoughts for me?As I reflected on where I was when I first joined and where I am today?
rn

Six months, in the large scheme of life, is nothing?But when I reflect on this particular chunk of time, well, it?s a lot?
rn

Since my initial join date (and in no particular order):
rn
rn
*I have traveled out of the country
rn
*I have met a celebrity
rn
*I have made new friends
rn
*I have lost old ones
rn
*I have started a new hobby
rn
*I have attended my first professional hockey game
rn
*I have lost more weight
rn
*I have seriously considered divorcing my husband
rn
*I have learned that I am truly, deeply loved, by at least one person, and in most cases, several
rn
*I have learned that I still have a lot of work to do to become the person I want to be
rn
*I have learned that I love my husband more then life itself
rn
*I have learned that even at my worst, I can still be loved
rn
*I have learned that my sisters and I are as close as two peas in a pod, yet different from night and day
rn
*I have learned that love is hard and that hate is easy
rn
*I have learned that I like beer
rn
*I have learned that I like to exercise
rn
*I have cried?A lot?
rn
*I have laughed even more
rn
*I have learned that no one?s rules or titles define me
rn
*I have learned that by continuing to live my life, MY WAY, on my terms, I am a better stronger person

And I learned that I am not the same girl that signed up six months ago?And in 6 months more, I don?t think I will be this girl typing this blog! I think there will be pieces, for sure, but ever evolving I seem to be! And I embrace that girl. I look forward to meeting her?
rn
rn
The most important lesson I have learned, is that I define me. My life is what I make of it, and will always be?I can wallow in muck, or I can soar with the eagles?I choose to soar?The view is much nicer from above?

Great blog and so true Dawnie. As one of my favorite books writes, “We are the Michaelangelos’ of our lives.” I want to creat the Sistene (sp?) Chapel in MY life.
Very awesome blog!!! I guess we don’t realize how much things change in a short 6 months.
Great blog! We’ve all evolved and grown in so many ways. And we’ll keep evolving and growing. Believe me, we’re never too old to learn new things, even about ourselves!!
And most importantly….you didn’t have me!
I loved your blog Dawnie, I completely missed my 6 mo anniversary. It was on the 11th.
There are so many people out there that don’t root for us and actually want us to fail. WE have to be the one that roots for ourself and see that we do not fail. I am so happy that you are defining you and not letting others get in the way of that! Great blog Dawnie!
It’s great to reflect - and you have a great memory! Sometimes as much as I reflect, I attach no temporal factor to the things I realize in retrospect. I loved the part about living your life your way. It’s an admirable attribute Dawn. I can’t wait to meet Dawnie 6 months from now!
what a lovely background.. and you are such a wonderful person.. happy early 6monthers..you can do this!
Glad to see you here and losing the weight you want to. You are doing great! Take care.
Its taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
