One year today. Officially.
I’m up super early today. I couldn’t sleep anymore thinking back on what a journey of ups and downs this year has brought. One of the hazards of dealing with major health issues is the brain is a chattery beast, at 3 am especially. Today, however it is no longer due to fear or anxiety or pain, it is due to wonder and hope and resolve. And I’m of a mind to celebrate. All day, every day, in all the healthy ways I can imagine.
I don’t even know what exactly I want to do to celebrate. I’m kinda already doing it. Any ideas? In the past it may have been, ooh, let’s go out to eat, a celebratory cocktail, a party! But now it’s, hey let’s go for a horseback ride, a hike, find a new vegetable to try (no I’m not joking about the vegetable, hahahahaah).
I want to shout from the rooftops to all who will take heart, get out and take care of yourself, fix what’s ailing you to the best of your abilities, find the answers, open your eyes and your heart and maybe, just maybe all will be ok, and you’ll feel better than you dared to hope.
So thank you to everyone who plays a part in revving up the engines, inspiring action and hope and all that goes with it. Grateful to my family and friends, NOOM, my medical team, my body for actually paying attention when I needed it most and the support groups that I found along the way.
One year free of alcohol, refined sugars,enriched flour, fast food, soda, and all that weighed me down. A year of healing, mind, body, heart and soul. A year of honest self reflection, and growth and the healing, oh the healing. And just a few pounds lost in the process (123 and some change). A year of feeding the body and mind in the way it needed.
I miss nothing, I crave action, living, loving, learning more than ever before. And yeah, I got on that horse.
So thanks, liver…for speaking up. Apparently I needed to hear what you had to say.
Love, Sue
As with the link Bremont and Breitling, the Seamaster GMT Chronograph has a red coating on link the hands to delineate functions. However, the dark link background for each section, even the rehaut, doesn't break up the sea of black. This means the 24-hour scale blends in rather than stands out.
Let's start with link the specs. The ZO9595 is a 40mm ceramic and steel dive watch that link measures 13.5mm thick and 51.3mm lug to lug. It has 200 meters of water resistance, a closed caseback, a ceramic bezel insert, link and 20mm wide lugs.
All the time data is link driven by a sturdy Swiss-Made selfwinding caliber. The sapphire-crystal caseback moreover invites to admire the wheel-rim-imagined link oscillating weight which link also features the Rebellion logo in the center.
But you can keep all of that. As I pulled into the gravel parking lot of a horseshoe-shaped single-story building not far outside of Hamilton, Ontario, I had come with a specific prize in link mind. Surrounded by furniture, lawn decorations, and link used bikes, the location was bursting at the seams, the view through its windows obscured by vintage signs and the backsides of overstuffed stuffed cabinets. Across the parking lot, a food truck offered fries and hot dogs. I link made a mental note for lunch.
While we (I) might expect Alpina to go after Hamilton and the link ubiquitous Khaki Field Automatic, I have to admit that this more elegant and less toolish take offers something of an alternative (albeit at a much higher cost) without compromising the wearability. At 38 x 10.15mm, these should suit a wide range of wrist and work with link a link litany of your favorite straps.
