Day 140 of 365, Saturday. Today was a good day. Donald and I reconnected with an old friend, one that we met shortly after we got married. Tim recently called Donald to let us know he got married and was having a marriage celebration backyard bbq at his house. Of course we wanted to go! I didn't take any photos while I was there, but it was so great to see him and meet his new wife. We also got to catch up with his parents, which was an added bonus. Anyway, I continue to get the signs to get over myself and my embarrassment about my legs. They will get better. There was a lady at the party battling ovarian cancer. She had lost all her hair, and I talked to at length about her prognosis. Again, I get it. Chill out.

This photo makes no sense with today's post. But since I didn't take any pictures at the party, here is a cute picture of Jolly Mon. He looks like he wears eyeliner.

Day 139 of 365, Friday. The vasculitis saga continues. As I mentioned in the previous post, I have been embarrassed about my legs, and I had a tiny pity party about it. I didn't want to show my legs to anyone, so after I left my aunt's house I went to the mall to look for some light weight long pants (it is summer after all, and it is already hot). I didn't find any pants, but I did buy a long, flowy skirt. Anyway, that is not the point. As I left the mall, for the first time in my life I noticed our church steeple visible from the parking lot. OK, I get it. Chill out and accept who you are, flaws and all. I'm still struggling, but am trying.
