As I sit here & type, I am having a glass of red wine. As I looked back over last night's post, I realized how much it sounded like a speech from an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Hopefully tonight will be less downtrodden.

Wait....uuuummmmm...a GLASS OF WINE!?!?!?!? What is WRONG with me?

Well, I am celebrating my 3 "month-a-versary". That's right folks, I am 3 months out from my heart attack.

THREE MONTHS

ONE QUARTER OF THE YEAR

NINE-TY ONE DAYS! ! !

For those of you who have been here since day one, THAT is how long you have had to put up with me. For those of you just joining this journey, if you read my previous posts, that is how far back you have looked in time.

Here is the thing, that fact JUST hit me last night as I was falling asleep. I really HATE to sound cliché. But it seems so long ago in some ways, but it seems like just yesterday in others.

The best example I can give you is my physical therapy.

I am still getting better and trying to reach that point where I can't really push anymore. In that way, this all still seems so new. BUT...going to PT has just become part of me and part of my week. It is habit now. I know everyone there, I have a routine and it is just part of.....ME.

For every day I have written a post, I have 3 more to write to finish out the year. For each one you've read, you'll have 3 more to read.

Between now & next Thanksgiving, we'll laugh, learn, hopefully raise some money & yes, maybe even cry. No matter what, I am honored that you have chosen to come with me and I am blessed to have the ability to lead you all on this trip.

And, as bad as I was all weekend, how DID I do eating today???

Oatmeal for breakfast, salad for lunch, a small sandwich and a high fiber/low sodium bowl of cereal for dinner.

Add some fruit to the middle of all of that, and I can look back and say I did pretty darn good today   ....THAT'S why I get to have some wine now.

Good night & God bless.
