Life. A circle? No, a finite line. A beginning, a middle and an end. Definite points in time. We travel this line, all of us. Some don’t make it past the beginning while others sojourn successfully to the end. Today I fed my mom. I cut her food up into little pieces and tried to [...]

December 9th, 2010 
admin Obese. That was the word my Thyroidologist was using when he was discussing my situation with me yesterday at my 3 month check up. Obese? Me? Yes, I’m fat. I recognize that. “But,” I try not to cry to him, it comes out whiny and moany “it’s been out of my control. Nothing I do [...]
