I truly believe the best people in the world on right here on MD  and I want to thank each of you from the bottom of my heart, whenever my roads in life get bumpy and hard to walk you've lifted my heart with words of kindness, encouragement and love and I am forever great full. I also want to say my life has been touched by a real life Angel and her name is Sherry (kywonder) I cant express just how much I love this woman, I ofter wonder why people come into our lives right when we need them and stay around to make such an important impact, and she has in mine. So many times I have turned to her and found everything I needed in just a few words, she is one of a kind, I will be forever blessed to have her pulling for me 
Now.....getting brought to reality in a funny way...Today is my Birthday and I have had many calls, even one from my ex husband   but thats another blog  anyway my little green eyed monster  Grandson William called and said Hi Nana Happy Birthday..Thank you Willy...He said I love,love , love you...Willy never says love only once  I love you too little man...he said how old are you...Im 54 now Willy...he said WOW...hey Nana did you start at # 1...Yup Willy I sure did...he said Hey Haley Nana is REAL OLD she started at number 1 Yes I still love my Grandbabies but they sure know how to bring you back...way back to reality
So getting back to reality. My journey in life has taken many twists and turns and has had so many mountains to climb and once again I am smack dab at the bottom of a huge one. I can either sit at the bottom and feel sorry for myself or put on my hiking boots and head on up. I know its not going to be easy and feeling sorry for myself takes less energy but if I want to be around for awhile I gotta start climbing. And im soooooo not ready to go anywhere yet, heck I still haven't met Mr.Perfect or The One yet jeez I haven't even met Mr. Right now either so im gonna hang around for awhile but if you see me just sitting and not climbing to the top feel free to tie a rope around me and give me a pull I just might need it
I have more tests this coming week and my doctor is consulting with the main surgeon and I will know if they can put in a stint or if they have to bypass the artery, we don't know about my legs yet but I do that test on Wednesday. I see a Cardiologist in 2 weeks unless I need the surgery ASP. Everything seems to be on my left side. Right now my carotid artery on my left side going into the back of my head and the breakial artery going from my heart to my left arm is blocked I have no blood pressure in my left arm so anyhow it needs taking care of pretty soon. At first I thought crap why me why now...but now im thankful that this was found before a stroke or heart attack, my little sister wasn't that lucky she passed away at only 27 of a heart attack. So I am taking this news as good news...YEAH RIGHT IM SCARED TO DEATH if you really want the truth  But Im climbing as much and as quick as I can

Happy Birthday to you! Stay believing the best. Know that the scary times you face are real but you are able to put that fear behind you. It is okay to feel it and wallow in it for a minute if need be but remember the longer you wallow in it the harder it is to see the light. I say give yourself permission to feel the yuk in only small portions. Have your lifelines in place and use them as you need to for your support. I don't know you but I've read enough to feel your heart. I wish you well. Now go enjoy your birthday!!!!!!!!

I find that being in the valley....or down as they say...simply means there is only one way out...and that is up....on either side there is a mountain....
Be encouraged and know that trouble don't last always......
The sun is gonna shine again!

"THANK YOU ALL"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I'ts not time to say Good Bye Yet!!!!!!! 
I'm not saying there won't be hard times, never forget  about,
Life
Life is a series of up's and down's
Many mountains to climb,
Many valley's to forge,
Many rivers to cross,
Life is an endless search
For peace,
For happiness,
For security,
Most of all Love,
Life is like a puzzle
If you work hard enough and long enough,
The pieces will finally fit together.
You can't run from it.
You can't hide from it.
Life has to take it's course,
But never stop trying.
Lance
Good Luck

Lynn you are without a doubt one of the best gifts that God has allowed in my life. You encourage me, inspire me, and let me know that I can make it. You are so beautiful, inside and out. I wish that we could have been sisters, but since we couldn't, we can be sisters in Christ. Someday, my home will be next to yours and I can see you when ever I want.
I love ya girlfriend and you are one of the best. I can't hold a candle to you.

Ohhhhh........It sounds as though you're having a wonderful birthday. Yes, grandbabies sure do have a way of keeping us in check, don't they? 
Lynn, you are in our thoughts and prayers. It's okay when we have those mountains in front of us. We just need to start that climb at a steady pace and not look down to see how far we've climbed......nor should we look up to see how much further we need to go. Just take one day at a time and focus on what's right in front of us. Our daily joys.......our happiness.....our wishes and dreams. The things that matter most in our lives, Lynn.
