Im still praying

Wow, I forgot I even had a blogger site! LOL! I was looking at someone else's blog and thought.."Hey this looks familiar." I pushed the sign in button..and poof..here I was! I dont know. Nobody reads this. Aparently if I want someone to read it then all I need to do is post a link onto my facebook..and if I ever do that then they could come across old posts..which in the future this will be an old post and see that I am changing by the minuet.
Why not? I my as well be totally open and honest here right?
Last year was tough. I mean really tough. I had spent 5 years almost with torn ligamants in my pelvis..I could barely walk, I was on high doses of pain meds, I was totally depressed, and I had gained a lot of weight. (mostly due to sitting around being depressed and not able to walk)
Now here we are a year later. I got my back fixed thanks to an amazing local doctor who actually decided to look at my back rather than just tell me that I had fibromyalgia...and 8 weeks of p.t. later..I could walk again. It's a work in progress. Yeah..I've got other problems..we all do. Im obsessive..no not ocd obsessive, but when I get something in my mind its hard to let go of it. Rather it being something Im worried about or something I want. My daughter is the same way..and some tell us it is ADD. I dont know. I dont want her to be labeled with that yet. Although I know how hard it is when something is stuck in your head..and I dont want her to have to struggle with that.
Anyway..I was headed somewhere with this line of thought. I've made it a long way over the past year. I've lost about 30 pounds..which is a great start...and I walk...which is kind of an essencial of life that I had forgotten about. I enjoy my family and myself more. Im not as depressed..not NEAR as depressed as I once was. It takes work. It doesnt happen overnight. I wish some people would try to fix themselves. It's not just handed to us, but I think if we sicerly want change to happen in our own lives, and we pray for it, then God will give us the tools that we need to get done what we need to get done. Im still praying.
One of my best friends has a signature at the end of her email's that says, "Im still learning" by Michealangelo. I love that quote. It's true..we never should stop learning. But I think mine would have to be.."Im still praying" Cuz we can never be done doing that.
