Much better!
Thank you so much for all the kind wishes for my birthday! You reminded me again why I love blogging…
I am really much better now, physically and emotionally. In fact, I’m great!
I was sick for four days and, according to my medical encyclopedia, it was my gallbladder acting up. There was no way I was going to see a doctor about that, since I would have just found myself on an operating table after forking out a fortune on tests. I have no intention of losing an organ and I am under no illusions about the dangers of surgery when one is obese. So, in a way, the illness was a blessing, because it’s forced me to watch my diet again. I still can’t face bread, which is a good thing!
As for my blue streak, I can’t maintain a negative attitude for long! The glass is half FULL once again and I feel empowered and ready for the year ahead. There is so much to be excited about in the near future! And a positive attitude will get me to the good stuff much quicker than a morose one. Besides, it’s impossible to practice gratitude when one is fixated on the dark clouds instead of the silver lining…
Bless you all, my Friends in the Computer!

Well if your glass is half full, get Craig to top it up. Especially if it’s a Cabernet…
Glad you’re feeling better!

That is the beauty of a specatcular mope (at least for me), one usually comes out of it all the more optomistic, and ready to face the chanllenges of the day…… Now, if I could just pull my head up for a moment to see that.

I forgot to tell you that since you dont want to take the surgery route for your gallbladder have you asked about taking Actigall? I was perscribed this for 6 months after having surgery to help prevent gallstones and problems with my gallbladder. Anyways might be something to look into to help with your gallbladder troubles.
Hope that helps!
