Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Something to Ponder A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: 'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.' He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box. 'She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said: 'Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'. I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less. I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day... I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it. I don't save my special perfume for special occasions ; I use it whenever I want to. The words 'Someday...' and 'One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come. I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... that I wanted to write 'One of these days'. I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and sisters, son and daughters, not times enough at least, how much I love them. Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives.. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day.. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably there's someone you care about. . |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I read this about 5 years ago and I can say it litteraly changed my life. NOT KIDDING. I got to thinking about what I thought was so important. The only time I say one of these days is when I dont have the money to make it happen. My own brothers noticed this change and was really bothered by it acutally but...... I got one of them to do the same. I even eat off my china !!! LOL at times yes I do! I mean the president isnt gonna come over im sure or the Queen. I got a really pretty candle one year that had the new years number on it. It was elegant. At the newyears eve party I attended I took it and lit it. Was a beautiful center piece and got so many of ............why did you lite it its so pretty? Your crazy you should have saved it. Well the next year it was gonna be outta date and it was very appropiate. My house dont look at neat anymore but........hey im ok with that. People are supposed to come see ME not my home. Right? Thanks for the post Becka and sorry for the page I wrote about it but ..... YES it changed my life. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | So beautiful. I read something like this before and it changed my life too. I was a hoarder of candles, body sprays, body washes, lotions, etc.. you name it, I bought it - and never used it! It got to the point where I would throw things out because they went bad because god forbid I actually used it just because I wasn't going anywhere special! Now I use everything everyday, sometimes even twice a day, and I feel great!
