Is that what Heaven will be like??
Ok, first off I have to tell y'all that I stepped onthe scale this morning, and I am officially down 40 lbs since starting NS on Sept. 10th. Not too shabby! I'm hoping to make it 50 by New Years. Secondly, I had the weirdest dream last night! My whole family was over at my grandma's house for Christmas, and we were watching some documentary on TV about my cousin Lizzie's pregnancy? I don't know why. Even weirder than that, my cousin Tricia was there. She passed away last year-November 5, 2007- from complications from Lupus. She was 37. But here she was, as alive and goofy as ever... making everyone laugh until they thought they'd pee their pants. But it was odd, because everyone was aware that she had passed on. But we were all hugging her and telling her how much we missed her. Then she wanted to go out to McDonalds and get Big and Tasty's? There are more details in there, but that was the gist of it. So, here is what I think. I think that is what Heaven will be like. We'll all get to visit family that has passed on in ways that are familiar and comforting to us. (like Granny's house at Christmas time) Then, we will be able to stop by our Heavenly McDonalds or whatever- eat what we want and not worry about the unhealthiness of it. No gaining weight... No high fat diet/cholestrol induced heart problems... Just yummy stuff to eat without the worry. (though, truth be told, if it really WAS Heaven, my granny would have been cookin'!)

Congratulations on such a great loss. You're really an inspiration - doing this out of a truck. I can't imagine! I would think that is so difficult. I read your notes the other day about you doing your exercises in there...must be quite roomy. I think you're on to something with your vision of heaven...mine includes NYC style pizza and dark chocolate though! Have a great day --Donna

First of all that is great about your weight loss - And you know that you are not the only one who has wierd dreams I still to this day have dreams of my mom who pasted 20 years ago and my grandparents who past 8 and 5 years ago - and all of the dreams are about what is going on in my life at that time... I think that it thier way of letting me know that they are there with me and they are watching me... : )

Thanks Donna- the plan isn't too hard to follow in the truck, and there is some room in there, but I am always smacking my hand off of something or accidentally kicking something else... It's better than not exercising though.

And thanks to you too Diane- I really like the thought that it's Trishy's way of letting me know she's looking down, watching over me. :)

Your first stop will be the three doves that you will be flying with. Beautiful white doves soaring high. The next stop will be your family and all those that went before you that you love, waiting for you to walk up the cobble stone road. They will be just ahead inviting you and saying how glad they are to see you. These were my first steps when I was on my death bed three years ago. I went much farther but never as far as any food so I can't tell you that. But I do know Jesus likes to play and have tea.

That sounds really beautiful, Marie... I hope we all still have plenty of years on Earth, but that's something to look forward to when the time comes.

Oh my, you made me cry and then I read Marie's message and I cried more!! I still have dreams about my Grandpa who I lost at age 12, but he was the best man I ever knew- my husband is alot like him!!! I dream that he is always a family gatherings with us and I'll go up to him and say something like where have you been or we thought you died and in every dream her says "I was just faking!" I think he comes to me when I'm troubled and he is my guardian angel! He is sooooooo real in all my dreams! And I think he comes to my daughter too because she talks about him like she has known him forever! She always says I miss grandpa I wish he was here with us! And the coolest thing is that my aunt, who video tapes every family gathering(which I use to think was annoying) came for TG and she brought me a video tape with my grandpa one it! I got to hear his voice and see his humor again, it was amazing!!! I will never be mad that she gets us all on video again and I am seriouly thinking about starting a video dairy for my daughter so she will never forget my voice!!! That video was the best gift I have ever gotten!! I miss him so much!

So maybe your cousin is your guardian angel and keeps you safe!! Oh I'm so sad/happy now (you know those times that you get sad because you miss your loved one but get so happy remembering all the great things about them!!). I love those kind of dreams but I hate it when I get woke up in the middle of them!!

Oh by the way, great, great job on hitting the 40 lb mark!!! Awesome!! You rock!!

Well have a great weekend! I'll talk to you soon!
