I have to say that today was pretty much sh*t, I got up way later than I should have and I don't have one thing accomplished that I planned to. But then the phone rings and I have a whole new outlook on the tasks ahead of me. As soon as I finish this I am going to start on my homework with a smile on my face because I feel like I have a friend in my corner! Thank you!!
We are having dinner at 5:00 at my in-laws to welcome home our soldier boy. I truly hope letting him leave in 2 weeks isn't too much for my step daughter to handle. She was so depressed before he came home and I'm worried about what her state will be like when he leaves for another 6 to 9 months. 21 years old an in a first marriage, a new situation...it has all been to overwhelming for her. Coupled with her Dad marrying me and a bunch of new boyfriends in and out of her mom's life the girl has had a rough 3 years. I love her like she is my own so of course her pain is mine. I pray I can find the words to comfort her.
My brother that never really has anything nice to say to me paid me a NSV of sorts yesterday. I hadn't seen him since I got back on NS and he said yesterday that he could tell I was losing weight. Very surprising!! He and I have always been like day and night..he was a runner in school and never weighed over 150 in his life. Today of course he has gained a bit but is still skinny as a rail in my eyes!! It was just a nice thing to hear maybe because I know he really did notice a change or he wouldn't have said it. In the past he wouldn't have said something nice to me if his life depended on it even if he had noticed the slightest of change. Nice to grow isn't!!

What a nice, positive post, Sherri. It is always great to go through the day with a smile. Good for you!
Great NSV! It seems to mean more when someone close to you notices. When my Dad first called me "skinny" I almost jumped for joy! Good for you!
