Being able to purchase tickets to any event, show, production without having to worry about whether I will be able to fit in the seats or not!

  • Single digit (or letter) clothing, which is something I haven't seen since 6th grade.
  • Sitting in a plastic chair (or preschool chair) without fear
  • Being able to be in the sun without a side effect reaction to medication - because that Lisinopril is history! Yeah!
  • Boots that fit my calves
  • Being alive and healthy enough to see my daughter's adulthood (I'm an old mom...)
  • Being able to comfortably fly to Denver and present at a national conference with confidence

I've always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon & take the mule train to the bottom of the canyon. I don't know if they still have them, but I remember that you had to weigh less than 200 lbs in order to do that. Now, that I've entered "onederland" I'll be able to go.
