Last weekend, I had to unfortunately attend a funeral of one of our neighbors. As you know with those events you see folk that you haven't seen in ages...some I hadn't seen since high school almost 30 years ago. To see the admiring looks on the faces of folk when they saw that I was getting in shape. I got so many complements; I left the funeral grieving my neighborhood mom, but also encouraged by the comments and questions about my new weight loss. The confidence that I've gained is indescribable. When I was 18, I was in much better shape but was insecure and didn't know how to appreciate what I was...now I know how to appreciate the life and health God has given me.
