Getting Back To Blogging

It has been almost three month since my last post and I must say, I have truly missed my blog and my blogging friends. Things are going very well for me--I have lost 100 pounds and I feel great!! I still have a long ways to go and next year I will be facing some plastic surgery. I have taken my daughter to the mall and could have stayed all day and never stopped walking. I can also wear my seat belt now. :)  I am not taking one thing for granted--I love life and I am at peace with so much!

I have several places, I will be visiting in the near future and will be writing on these great adventures. I will be sharing pictures of my garden with you and the beautiful sunflowers my husband planted for me.

Have a great week-end!

Hope Part 2

In my last post I said I would be sharing my thoughts on what the word hope means to me. For me hope means on 5 April, my life will be changing because after a lot of praying, talking with people and research, I will be having weight loss surgery(gastric bypass). I work for a large hospital in Greenville and the doctor that will be performing my surgey is part of our system and I trust him one hundred percent!

This surgery will give me hope on being a better mom to my daughter and a better wife to my husband. For ten years it has been other people taking my daughter to the Peace Center or BI-Lo Center for concerts--now I will be able to take her and not wonder will I fit in the seat. No more buying tickets duirng the hours I work and have to tell my daughter, "daddy will take you, because mom has to work."

Also, I will be able to travel, fly and see places I have always wanted to visit. I will be able to share those places with my daughter--Boston, Maine, going to the beach and getting in the ocean and hearing the waves. But the place I love the most and have wanted to go since I was seven is England.

I have also been thinking about a new blog(changing the name, but I will still write on South Carolina). I truly enjoy blogging--never thought people would read my blog. I started my blog to keep up with my writing and research skills. When I first started blogging I did worry about having readers, but I have come to enjoy the writing, taking pictures and seeing places I have never visited before(even in my own state). I just hope the people who read my blog can see how much I enjoy sharing my state with them.

If you have any suggestions on how I should do my new blog--please let me know by e-mail or write a comment on my blog. I will not post in April, but will be back in May.

Best
Tracy :)

PS: Yes there is hope for me and for everyone!!
