Im always thankful for a lot of things and sometimes Im thankful for things I wanted that didnt work out..hindsight is 20/20 of course but today Im thankful that over the last year that Coy Redmond and I have such an amazing group of people surrounding us :) 5 years ago, I was extremely overweight, unhappy and lost. My mother died in 2002 and my husband died in 2007, those mind numbing, life altering chain of events set me on a very destructive path, Ill never forget sitting at home alone in my bedroom with my pets on New Years Eve 2009 and crying, thinking I would never find anyone to love me, that I wasnt good enough or that I didnt belong. I knew I had to do something or it would be too late, I dont normally advertise my choice but Ive always been honest about it… gastric sleeve surgery saved my life. No... it gave me a new life and although I dont advocate for others the choice I made, because for you it may be as simple as working out or taking up a new hobby, I just want to be clear…taking control of what made my unhappy, what was destroying my self esteem set me on a path to a life that I wake up to everyday and am sincerely thankful for. If I had continued on the path I was on I wouldve completely self destructed and who knows what the outcome wouldve been but when I made the decision to to pull it together, to stop feeling sorry for myself and to make the life that I always wanted for myself thats when my life really started. I had the confidence to know when a man was interested in me for me, I had the confidence to go out and make new girlfriends and to not compare myself to them. I had the confidence to really live my life. So when I get the messages or the texts that say hey, Im so glad yall are having a party, my boyfriend just dumped me or hey do you mind if I meet you at such and such place, my friend just got a new boyfriend and I dont have anyone to go out with anymore… I smile to myself and think...thats what this is all about…thats why I do it…Hell everyone knows I love to knock back a few drinks, lets face it I am who I am and I dont apologize often for it ;) but in reality I know how much it hurts to be alone…to not feel good enough, to be lonely and its a shitty place. So today I say to all our friends old and new…Coy and I are thankful for you. We love this town, we love the people in it and we love each other. Nobody can kill our vibe ;) Happy Thanksgiving everyone and remember its never too late to start over and youve always got a friend :)
