I hate to be the impetus for your surgery memories! I'm really happy to report that I look and feel much better. I have an appendectomy scar--as my surgery was done at the age of 16 and pre-laparascope. My scar is pretty small and awesome, but this is going to look much better.
I have to figure that maybe some day, I'm going to wind up on top of some guy and I'd prefer the view to be less distracting.
The chapters I read last night were about being grateful and for choosing to see things positively. Your post reminded me of them! It's really a great book, and resonating with me. Especially since it's the week to be reminded of thankfulness?
She says, "Happiness doesn't make us grateful--gratefulness makes us happy." I think that's a most telling phrase? And you seem to be living proof of this concept!
So thanks for showing me what this looks like!
Hugs,
Bets
