Oh, the things we take for granted.  Or should I say "I" take for granted.  Take walking for example.  People do it everyday.  Here and there and everywhere.  I did not miss it until the privilege was taken away and I was told it would never be given back.  I never thought about how good it was for me.  I just complained when I did not have a ride somewhere.  I did not look at it as a gift.  Until I was told I would never walk again, sitting down never was more terrifying to me.  But, the man up stairs had different plans for me.  And boy am I thankful for that.  Now I walk for many reasons but the main reason is because I can!  I still have aches and pains but I contribute that to getting older and my fat butt. I am glad to be rid of the "FAT denial" I was in.   I love living a healthier life style and the friends that come with it.  Thank you everyone here who has given us support.  People do not realize how much one kind word can make a difference!  Rock on Team Walk it off!  Have a great day!
