As I was happily walking through Target last night I found myself remembering a post I wrote a year ago. "I went to Target this evening expecting that small comfort of home only to walk into some strange new layout. It was just wrong." Last night I was able to quickly find the things I need and felt at home there. I even ran into a friend from school. I was happy, I was confident and at peace. It was such a stark contrast to how I was feeling a year ago.
Again today, as I was walking to my first class of this semester, I found myself reflecting back on a post from last year. "I think they made the path to my class twice or even three times as long today! Halfway there I started questioning whether I was going to make it. Thankfully there is this nice low steel parking fence thing in the shade where I was able to sit and collect myself before continuing on." Today I walked quickly past that low steel fence and smiled because I had no need to stop and rest there.
Within the past year I have made so many new friends, learned a lot in school, walked so much more and I joined Weight Watchers. I have lost 73 pounds and it has made a HUGE difference in every aspect of my life. My knees don't hurt from walking to class. I am sleeping so much better. I have way more energy. I fit in the desks at school.
I am enjoying the good changes from this past year and am so excited to see where I am a year from now. Watch out world!
