What's your silver lining?

There is a silver lining in everything we do, say, touch or imagine.

So...my last entry helped me through a difficult "moment" along with the help of two very dear "friends" of mine. My two daughters. I am so blessed to have them in my life! Thanks girls! Open, honest communication will resolve anything life sends your way. Having someone to bounce ideas off of is not so bad either. 45 minutes later, my honey and I agree, cliff-notes are the way to go. He understands when I "panic" I am not looking for him to "fix" anything, just listen. That is the greatest gift of all between us is the listening.

I do have great people in my life. To you all I say, "Thank you for being there!"

Now, back to the silver linings. Life is not about what happens to you but how you respond to it! I keep relearning that lesson. Every so often, I am reminded, just how important it is.

Follow-up day was today with my urologist. I was given a clean bill of health, kidney wise and he was totally impressed with my weight loss and my commitment to healthier living through eating well and exercising. 5 years from now, if I want another sonogram on the kidneys/bladder, we will do one. Otherwise, no worries.

I also treated myself to a new watch today. It has already stopped keeping time. Probably needs a new battery! There is a reason it stopped at 10:57AM, right now I do not know what that reason is but soon it will be revealed to me.

Well...tomorrow is date night! This has become my "dirty-martini" night. I look forward to it all week. I think I may need to find another drink. Can't linger too long on the same one as then I am too predictable, I need to take my badness back from Michael. He says that he would never have taken this chance on this new business if I didn't encourage him to "fly". He is usually a very cautious person, I am the diver. I just took him to the ledge and he trusted me enough to follow me and now he has learned how to "fly", now he likes the freedom so much that we have switched places. Careful Mikey...I am taking my badness back.....or maybe now that you have learned how to fly.......we will continue to become an even bigger badder force than before! Hmmm.....I like the sound of that!
