Saturday

I got to sleep in a little bit this morning and got to spend a lot of time with my mom today. She hasn't been doing too hot lately and it was nice to spend time with her- there's not that much time during the week-if you could imagine. You know it kinda makes you think about complaining that I can't eat a burger, or an oreo exactly when I want it and there are other people who are dealing with MUCH bigger issues and a lot more pain every day and I am pouting about 3-8 weeks. Suck it up Pooh Bear! Master Chief told us something Friday and I hope that it will stick with me for a long time- "it's a mind game" I control my body, it DOES NOT control me! I can look at those potato chips or a cookie and I was able to say today- "I am stronger than that- that cookie is not stronger than me". Ok it sounds kinda stupid typing it out but I was really proud of myself when I felt weak and I said it to myself in my head and walked away. THat is huge for me! HUGE! ANyway- one more day to catch my breath and back to the palace of pain-muh ha ha!
