The Simple Things in Life Are The Best Things

The simple things in life are so great! Many of you know that I had surgery a few times for Melanoma in my leg. As a result one leg often swells up to twice the size as the other.

This makes shopping fun; trying to find a pair of pants that fit. Most of my shorts are wide-leg pajama bottoms or pants cut short and hemmed by my best friend Nancy. Hey they look like the real thing. And not to mention that they are cooler than more

Last year when I bought jeans, I had to get them a size bigger than I would normally wear because of my leg. They are so huge on my now especially since I have lost 10 lbs since Feb 1. (YAY!) But I have not been able to find wide leg jeans that actually fit my waist too. Today, I did. I was so excited, I bought 2 pair!. WHOO HOO. It was the highlight of my year so far I think. You can not imagine how good it feels to have pants that actually fit my leg and my waist.

It is the little things in life that makes the world go round. Now I have jeans that I can wear and jeans that I can wear if I swell and need to!

This is also a good sign that my leg is not as swollen! YEE HAA.

Enjoy the little things in life. Make everything special. Get excited over the little things. The big things can wait, it is the little things that give us hope.
