A New Me in Progress!

This past weekend, we lay to rest my first cousin Randy.   It has been some years since I had seen him.  Though we were close growing up, with the death of grandparents, divorces and growing up and discovering our lives we lost contact.   He was only 4 years older than me, so at 50 he has gone on to his final resting place.  He left this earth because of poor health.  He had a massive heart attack while walking from a corner store.   He was also diabetic who had already loss 2 fingers. 

When I got the news, I was really upset, because as some of you know, I have been helping my Sister who at 41 years old is a brittle diabetic on an insulin pump, has a weak heart with an implanted defibrillator and pacemaker.  She also suffers from gout, neuropathy, sleep apnea, and myriad of ailments.  I am constantly talking and fussing with her about her eating habits, her weight and her refusal to take her condition serious. 

My families on both sides have a history of heart decease and diabetes.   So I have been working on me for quite some time now.  I started exercising and working with a Personal Trainer last August.  I have seen some results though I could be working harder and doing more.  

With all this being said. I just wan the world to know that I am changing, I am living a better, healthier life.

Now back to sewing!
