Just a quick hello while I wait for hubby to get ready to go out. We're off to see the latest Die Hard movie, yes it was his choice this time.
Great news, the weight loss total is now 7.9 kilos.
And just a little thought........ (I read this somewhere recently) that one candle can light many candles and not lose any of its own brightness.
So my thought this week has been, firstly whose life can I lighten and brighten. And secondly, who will lighten and brighten my world, as many candles shed more light than just one and sometimes my light just isn't enough on its own.

This little light of mine...

Thanks for lightening and brightening my life my friend....and thank you for your wisdom....
SC
I looked at your blog this morning and read this post again....
Only then did it occur to me the significance of your subject line.
ALL day that song has been in my head...."this little light of mine, I'm gonna make it shine"....is that how it goes?
Anyway, I've got the tune.
If we could 'morph' our way back to that little seaside church....what would we change, I wonder
Glad we found each other again :-) SC xx
Tee Hee, yep thats the song.
Morph back..... my 1st response was no way! I hated myself back then. But then the thought of what would I change..... everything. I'd have stayed at school, gone to Uni and probably become a teacher..... if I could be who I am now instead of who I was then in the areas of self love, confidence, anger management. I would give almost anything to have avoided the emotional pain of those years. But then there were the good times.
You were one of my candles back then and that really hasn't changed!
I'm also very glad we have reconnected. A girl can't have too many good friends :) xo
Sunshine, we can use that emotional pain to come out into the sunshine so much wiser and stronger!
That is what you have done my friend!
Miss Sunshine- can I be a candle? Or at least hold up a mirror? Congrats for your determination and weight loss! Just keep it coming on (or off)!
Who would have ever known you hated yourself? I certainly didn't.
I remember wishing I were as pretty as you and so envious of your beautiful olive skin.
I recall that all the boys thought that sunshine was the best looking girl in school.
Not that I envied you that. I thought they were all far too immature for me! haha I had my sights set on far greater things.
But would I change anything??? Hell yeah! Just about everything! Hindsight is beautiful thing :-)
SC
Littlewing, you're very wise. We become the people we are because of what we go through, and I guess theres no way to turn back the clock.
My reward is in the peace I have now and seeing the love and confidence Ive been able to instill in my children shining back in their eyes, and their very strong comments of Yes , uh huh, I know when people compliment them.
Thanks for your warmth and encouragement, you are beautiful and definitely a candle!
Hi Karma, thank you and welcome back from holidays, Ive missed you and yes you are definitely a candle! I think we're getting a lovely warm glow happening in blogland!
The weight is still coming off and I'm very excited about that as Ive tried and failed many times with weight loss but this time something is different. Its not the diet because Ive tried the same thing before. I could be the yummy sugar free dark chocolate, but I think there has been a change in me.
SC, yes to hindsight! The funny thing about all those boys liking me was that I never heard about it until a year or 2 after I had left school, and the way I found out was so random. My boyfriend at the time was a surfie and just happened to be out with some of the guys from school, I was waiting on the beach for him so they knew we were together and they sat out there in the surf and had a good old gossip session about me, so they told him and he told me!
Sooo tell me about those greater things!
You didn't know?
You had a boyfriend who was a surfie? I hope he didn't have a panel van!
Although I also heard a story about a dodgy hitchhiker you picked up and he's still hanging around 20 years later ;-)
The greater things. Oh well I was going to travel, marry a rich man, become a famous writer.
It's not too late is it???
SC
lol, no that one didn't ;)
