10 Day Sickie Challenge - Day Eight

Three pretties
For Sickies:

Just because you have a broken wing, doesn't mean that you have lost your desire to fly - but it also doesn't mean that you'll never fly again.  

It was beautiful to me, to see the rose still blooming and still be as beautiful after the rain, even though it might have lost a petal or two along the way.

Life is hard, pain is real, and with a chronic illness, struggles are to be expected.  I don't know why we were chosen to bear the extra burden and heartache, but try to at least see the beauty in the storm. 

For Bariatric Patients:

The first glimpse of the beauty of a woman is seen in her spirit.

Know that you don't have to be thin for you to love yourself.  In fact, if you do decide to have weight loss surgery, the journey will be easier if you already established that you're doing it for you.  

If you do chose to make a change in your life, either through weight loss of traditional methods, surgery, or something else -- know that this part of life is a brand new adventure and you are not going through it alone.
