I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

Broken Heart by Melissa Black
I just got a call from a dear friend.
His heart has been broken.
He'll need time to mend.
As he talked and I listened my heart grew heavy.
The sadness was flowing, it broke the levy.
It ran through my veins right to my heart
it was torn and was broken apart.
See I've had a lot of loss in my life.
I've dealt with a lot of grief and strife,
so even though his situation is not quite the same
I do know a little about hurt and pain.
I told him I'm sorry and I'll be there for him.
I told him I'd listen or go work out at the gym.
I'll leave him alone if that's how he feels
and give him the time he'll need to heal.
So tonight as I head off to bed.
I've got thoughts of my friend and his hurt running through my head.
I'll think some nice thoughts and say a few prayers.
I really hope that my friend knows just how much I care.

Melissa, I don't believe we've ever met but through FB and your blog, I feel like I'm beginning to know you. I pray for you as you journey to a healthier life and care deeply for those in your life. Caring opens us up to hurt but it's only through caring that we truly experience life.
Hugs to you my unmet friend and prayers for your friend.
