This is a new day. A new life. A new beginning. I am happy were I am today in my life. I hope to be better in about a year, health, eating right, exercising and feeling much better. I will be off a lot of medications, I won't have to see so many Dr's to see, it will just be wonderful. I'm starting out at 279lb today, I have had, hot chicken broth, hot tea, cold tea and water. I felt a little sick after my 10min walk, so I had to take a 1/2 of a nausea pill and I feel better. I will go on my other 2 10min walks today as well. Just going slow. My stomac is very sore, but the fluids are going down nicely. This is my new journey I will be blogging. Judy 12/30/11

Angel/Buddy

I felt it appropriate to change the name of my blog to "Angel/Buddy". Most of my post are about 3 wonderful people in my life that are Angels and my Buddy. How ironic that is. It gives me chills to think about that. Thanks for being there for me, you help me more that you know.

Dedicated to Trudy, Terri and Kaye.

How I feel

I LOVE YOU TRUDY, KAYE AND TERRI!

Tattoo's

It was in June 2008 in Pocatello Idaho around 10pm. There we were, Terri, Trudy, Kaye and myself Jude driving down the road just a talking and laughing and having so much fun enjoying each other company. I said out of the blue, I wonder where there is a tattoo parlor? We had talked about it in our emails before we got together, and someone said "I didn't think we were really going to do it". And then it happened, on the left side of the road "TATTOO'S", I screamed at Kaye, "there's one, turn, turn, turn". She did, and there we sat in front of the Tattoo shop, some of us happy, some of us in shock that we were really going in. We went in. It was right before 10pm and they closed at 10pm, we didn't care we were getting tattoo's!! We were all excited at different levels. They had books to the left of tattoo's you could look at to pick one out that you liked, we all went right over and started looking at all the tattoo's. It was so much fun. Terry picked hers out first, I thought it was so cool, she picked out an "R" for her husband Randy's name and had it put on her big toe. What imagination that was, I just think that is so neat of her to do that. And then it was Trudy's turn, she got a musical note (I can't think of the name of it) on her toe as well. I thought how wonderful that is, she plays the piano and organ, has always done that for as long as I've known her, cool Trudy, just too cool! And then it was my turn, I have always wanted a yellow rose, so that is what I got on my ankle, not too big, but I love it. Yellow roses are my favorite rose. Now I have on myself! And then there was one of us left, Kaye. She just didn't find anything she liked at least well enough to put on her body for the rest of her life. I commend her for that, having style and grace not to get one, when we all did. Hat's off to you Kaye. We thought we were the brave ones, and all along it was you that was brave. If you would of found something that just jumped out at you I'm sure you would of got one, if you don't find anything your like then you don't get a tattoo, and that's what you did. Here we though we where the unique one's getting tattoo's, but it was you that was unique for not getting one. Way to go, we love you for that. It just wasn't your time, but you know what, we all had a blast anyway didn't we. And you know what else, we all were a delight! lololol. That will always be a memory of the past, us all being a delight, that is too funny. The tattoo parlor stayed open for us till midnight, when they closed at 10pm when we pulled up outside there doors. What a wonderful tattoo artist we had, he was so young and so talented. His girlfriend or wife called to see where he was, and all she heard was 4 women talking and a laughing in the background, I'm sure that went over well. I asked if she would like to talk to me so I would verify he was still at work, he said "on no, on no that's ok". Hahahahaha. To be young again, when you think everything matters. So there we were four 50 year olds, just a talking and telling stories, not having a care in the world, what a wonderful memory. Our tattoo's in Pocatello, Idaho, and Kaye being the braves of all by, not going with the crowd, and standing on her own. What a strong women. And then we got back in the car and just drove down the road, just a laughing and a talking right where we left off.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

SO THIS IS LIFE AS WE KNOW IT


TERRI IS HAVING ISSUES WITH HER X SON IN LAW, DEALING WITH CUSTODY FIGHT WITH HER GRANDSON. TRYING TO HELP HER DAUGHTER THE BEST SHE CAN DURING THIS ORDEAL. TERRI IS ALWAYS HELPING HER FAMILY WITH LOVE AND SUPPORT.


TRUDY HAS A ELBOW INJURY FROM WALKING HER DOGS. A VERY PAINFUL ONE AT THAT. SHE HAS BEEN GOING TO THE DOCTOR FOR A WHILE TO GET HER ELBOW TREATED, STILL VERY PAINFUL. I HOPE RELIEF IS IN SIGHT FOR YOU.


KAYE HAS THE PAINFUL DECISION OF CHANGING JOBS AFTER BEING AT ISU FOR 28 YEARS. BUT I FEEL YOUR SANITY IS WORTH MORE THAT THE JOB AND THE PEOPLE AT ISU. WHAT A HARD THING TO DECIDE, GO WITH YOUR HEART, IT NEVER LIES. YOU'LL KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT. A CHANGE CAN DO WONDERS IN YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL SEE. IF YOU SHOULD TAKE THE JOB, RELIEF WILL COME INSTANTLY. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING, IT'S JUST TAKING THE FIRST STEP OF ACCEPTING THE POSITION. WHAT A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO FIND PEACE IN YOUR LIFE. I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR YOU. THIS IS THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.


MYSELF, I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY BACK. VERY PAINFUL, ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, WHEN IT IS THE WORST IT'S AN 11 !!! I'M UNABLE TO WALK IN THE STORES, I HAVE TO USE THE GO CART. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE THAT PERSON DOING THAT AT 51, MAYBE 81. THIS HAS INTERFERED WITH MY DAILY LIFE. EFFECTIVE EVERY ASPECT. I AM UNABLE TO GO TO THE STORE WITH SANDY AND JUST WALK AROUND, I CAN'T EXERCISES LIKE I WANT TO,

I CAN'T WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO THE OFFICE WITHOUT HAVING TO SIT DOWN WHEN I GET TO THE STAIRS TO GO UP TO MY APARTMENT. I MEAN IT GOES ON AND ON, I CAN'T STAND SAYING " I CAN'T" ALL THE TIME. FOR THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SOME DOCTORS THAT ARE WILLING TO FIND THE CAUSE OF MY PAIN AND REALLY WANT TO HELP ME AT THE PAIN INSTITUTE OF ARIZONA. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THEM, I JUST HAVE TO HOLD ON A LITTLE MORE WHILE THEY DO THERE TESTING. FROM THE TIME I HAVE STARTED THIS BLOG, MY BACK IS STARTING TO HURT. IT'S TERRIBLE. I FEEL RELIEF IS AROUND THE CORNER. THEY SAY THINGS COME TO THOSE THAT WAIT, I THINK THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL OF US. WE JUST HAVE TO HOLD OUT A LITTLE LONGER, OUR ANSWERS ARE IN VIEW.

SO THERE WE HAVE IT, OUR LIVES IN A NUTSHELL. ALL OF US DEALING WITH DIFFERENT ISSUES AND MORE, BUT THIS IS OUT LIFE. WE CAN CHOOSE TO FIGHT OR GIVE UP, AND WE ALL HAVE CHOSEN TO FIGHT. WHAT WONDERFUL CHARACTER WE ALL HAVE. WE ARE STRONG, INDEPENDENT AND WILLING TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS OURS. YOU ALL ARE WONDERFUL, AND A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ME.


THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHOWING ME YOUR STRENGTHS. LIFE IS A JOURNEY AND WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.



MUCH LOVE

You make me happy knowing your there, knowing we can share our stories with each other with out criticism, only laughter, and that is the greatest feeling in the world. It could not of happened to me at a better time, I need support and I get it from my 3 sisters friends.

You are wonderful people, kind, thoughtful and considered of others, all of us would do anything for anyone, we are primary caregivers, it's in our blood. It's amazing all we get accomplished in the world everyday. It's a pleasure to be apart of your lives, you inspire me and make me want to do better. I thank you for that and all you do.

Just Do It

Sooner or later, you start taking yourself seriously. You know when you need a break. You know when you need a rest. You know what to get worked up about, and what to get rid of. And you know when it's time to take care of yourself, for yourself. To do something that makes you stronger, faster, more complete because you know it's never too late to have a life. And never too late to change one.
JUST DO IT

Lotti

My dear Lotti
I thought about you today
It made me smile
Your beautiful eyes
With such a shinny coat
I remember your playful ways
And the joy it was to be around you
I can't wait to see you again my friend
All my hugs and kisses will be for you
I miss you Lotti
More than you know
Your friend-Jude xoxox
Happy Birthday Baby Girl

Cindy Overton Davis

A memory came rushing back to mind tonight about Cindy. I was in the living room and lite a candle and the sent of the wax and the aroma of the candle brought me back to the 1970's, a truly carefree time in our lives. I could feel the basement and the scent of the wax and the candles, the silver vats that had water in them to cool the candles, seeing candles hanging upside down to dry. I was always amazed with the thought of her making candles. I wish I would of learned how to make candles, but I never did. I remember the year she gave all of us candles for Christmas, what a surprise that was, it was beautiful. It had many colors in it. I wonder how long it took her to make 4 candles. What a beautiful gift that was.
A memory that stays in the back of my mind.

I miss you Cindy, you are in my heart.

love Jude xoxoxoxoxox

Three Angels Sent to Me

There comes a responsibly
When you are best friends
The right to be totally
Honest with each other
To tell secrets and know
That is as far as they will go
Respond to a friend in need
Love, respect and care for each other
Be able to laugh and cry together
Enjoying and listening to there joys
Heart ache and sadness
Being supportive when needed
To talk freely of your own life
About your own life and fears
To just be able to put it all out there
And know there is no judgement
I have never found these things
Until my three best friends
Came back around a second
Time in our lives
Priceless, love and joy

My Birthday October 25. 2008 51 years old

Oh my gosh! I had such a surprise on my birthday this year. Three dear friends remembered me on my day. They all got together and sent me gift cards to Walmart. I had a Walmart Fest, it was the best time I've ever had shopping in my life. I went three days in a row, I got a chance to look around and buy a lot of things I really needed. My heart is full of love from this experience. What wonderful friends I have. In this life and time it's not often that you can say you have three best friends and I truly do. How lucky am I. I love all of you, you fill my soul with joy. Thank you so much for being in my life. We have truly saved the best for last. What wonderful years we have to share together our lives and friendship and families.

Thank you

Shadow

I found a puppy today at the bottom of my stairs. She just crawled up in my arms, I just turned right around and brought he into my apartment. I was on the way to Physical Therapy, I called Dr Melissa and told her I'm calling in Dog Sick. She just laughed and understood totally why I wasn't coming in.
I named her Shadow because she would not leave my side, she is black with white and tan on her chest. She must be about 6 months old. I left her in the apartment while I went to Fry's, which is our grocery store. I bought her dog food, a collar (red), some bones, begging strips and that's it. She just gobbled up the food, I had to keep picking the food up so she wouldn't chock, of course she didn't understand why I was doing that. She drank water, had to put that up too, she was just staving I guess. I tried to put a rope around her neck to take her out and she was having none of that. So I took her out with the rope as if we where playing and she stayed by my side the whole time we where outside, she loves playing with the rope, all the cat toys and I gave a blue bunny, she just drags that around the house.
Buddy and Angel are not sure what to think. Buddy likes her, they sit together and touch noses but then Buddy runs into the bedroom, and Shadow just chases her. Angel on the other hand, has not left the bed. Shadow has gotten on the bed with Angel, and Angel lets Shadow how close she can come, and then Shadow just backs off.
We have been up since 1:30am, playing, going out side, cleaning up dog accidents (thank goodness she goes on the tile), I mean I wish she wouldn't go in the house at all, but if she has to go, I'm glad it's on the tile. My floors sure are clean now !
lololololol
So now I'm up and everyone has been asleep for about 30 min, thank goodness.
I love her so much, but I have deiced it's just not the right time for a dog for me, she barks and I can't jeopardize my job with that. I'm still decluttering my house there really isn't room for her to romp and play. I won't be able to last being up and down all night, that will just put me into the ground. There is many more things, but more importantly, Angel is the boss of me and Buddy, and what she says goes. I can't have her not getting off the bed, I mean that is just not fair to her. I'm taking Shadow to the Shelter, this is the first time I have ever had to do this. Having an animal is a responsibility, not only for the new animal but with you the one's you have had for a long time. My heart aches, she is just a love. I'm taking all of her stuff I bought for her, a towel I sit on at my computer so she can still smell me, and there you have it. A sad day for me, but I know she will have no trouble being adopted out. " I'll let them know that she gets along with cats, needs alot of toys, she is not house broken, you need to take her out when she gets up from her nap and she loves to chase her rope. She will follow you when you go out side when you have the rope."
So were in overtime this week, toady's my day off so I work 4 hr from 6am - 10:30am. Then to the shelter we go.
I just needed to share my emotions with you about Shadow. I know it doesn't campier to any of you all's problems, but this is my issue I have to deal with today.
Thanks for listening.

A RESTED SOUL

A RESTED SOUL I MET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY I WOULD GO AND TALK TO HER, AND WHEN SHE WOULD LEAVE WORK, I WOULD STAND IN HER OFFICE AND JUST LOOK AT ALL HER THINGS, THE SENSE OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY WAS STILL THERE. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND THEN LIKE A WAVE, IT JUST ENGULFED MY BODY. THE HOLE THING WAS SHOWN TO ME IN A WAY I COULD UNDERSTAND. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO TALK TO ANYONE IN HER POSITION, AND SHE MADE IT SO EASY FOR ME. JUST SO CALM, WHEN ALL AROUND HER WAS CHANGING. SHE TOOK THE TIME OUT OF HER BUSY SCHEDULE, AND TALKED TO ME, ACTUALLY STOP WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND LOOKED AT ME. SHE MADE ME FEEL LIKE A PERSON. I WOULD GO TO HER OFFICE AND I WOULD SAY"IT'S JUST ME", "IF YOUR BUSY I'LL COMEBACK" AND SHE WOULD SAY NO HAVE A SEAT. ( I WAS AN UN CONFIDENT PERSON AT THAT TIME.) AND WE WOULD TALK. AND SO THIS WENT ON, AND THEN IT CAME TO ME I'M STARTING TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. I DIDN'T KNOW I FELT BAD ABOUT MYSELF, SO MY SELF IMAGE STARTED TO CHANGE. I BEGAN TO TALK TO MORE PEOPLE, IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE SHOULD NOT TALK, THE MORE YOU WORK THE MORE MONEY YOU MADE. NOT ME BLAH...BLAH....BLAH. I DON'T KNOW HOW SOMEONE CAN TALK ON THE PHONE ALL DAY, GO TO WORK AT NIGHT AND WON'T SHUT UP. THERE WERE THERE WONDERFUL YOUNG LADIES THAT WALK BY ALL THE DESK, OH NO THERE NOT HAVING THAT, SO I WOULD TO SAY PART OF A SENTENCE WHEN THEY WENT BY THE FIRST TIME AND THE LAST PART OF THE SENTENCE WHEN THEY WENT BY AGAIN. YES THEY WOULD STOP FOR 3 SEC FROM TIME TO TIME. AM I NEW IN THE PROOF DEPARTMENT!!HELL NO MY 2ND JOB WAS PROOF IN 1975, THIS WAS ALWAYS THE JOB I WOULD HAVE TO HELP MAKE ENDS MEET. I FOUND OUT I CAN'T KEY WORTH A CRAP!!! I MOST PEOPLE THAT WOULD CRUSH, BUT I HAVE TAKEN AWAY SO MUCH MORE FROM THAT JOB THAN I CAME WITH. IT WAS A SELF WAKENING EXPERIENCE, SURROUNDED BY ANGELS.ONE OF THEM IS JUST A GEM. THANK YOU FROM MY HEART.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, I'M 14YRS CLEAN AND SOBER TODAY..

New Revelation

My work at Chase Bank was much more than that. I met for the first time a Rested soul. A person I have great respect for. We connected
and found out we both believe in Angels. Although my work there was intended to make my out of pocket cost for my Insurance, it was much more than that I found out. What a wonderful revelation that took place in my life. By watching these three people work together, which is something I have witness at a bank, they taught me the meaning of work ethics and self confidence. I took away with much more than I came with. This self confidence has help me to deal with my past and realize I need to live for now, right now, not the past, not with what people have done to me, forgive them all. Take a deep breath, blow it out and let go. I have, the pain is gone. A break threw in my life, and there is me, myself and I. I now work on myself. After working on my self image, I am looking forward to a relationship, it will be the first one that is a healthy one. What a wonderful feeling that brings me. My reward to myself with my new body image, is to sky dive naked. That will shed all my shield I used for so long to hide my body. So I in fact left the Bank with far more in which I came. What a wonderful thing, I'm so glad I could see this. Now I go on with my life, so much to look forward too. I'm glad to be alive.

MY SISTER SANDRA SUE

My sister gave me her chair from where she works at Uhaul. It's wonderful, it is so nice, my chair I had was shot! I didn't know how bad my chair was till I got this new one. Oh it's great to have a good chair to work on.
My sister is so nice to me, she helps me all the time. It might be the littlest thing that she will do, but it means so much to me. I hope she knows. It seems once again I have left the best for last. My relationship with my sister, watching my great nephew Mason grow up, seeing my nephew Robbie and Kim doing so well in there life, I'm clean and sober trying to enjoy every moment, my friend Barb watches out for me as well and last but not least reuniting with my best friends from high school. All these things are wonderful in my life, and it is in fact the best for last. What a way to live the last part of your life, I will cherish every moment.
What a wonderful life, my life.

Old friends, new memories

What a dream come true to go meet 3 of my best friends again after 28 years of so. I finaly understand what "seeing old friends are good for the soul" means. We all have learned how to enjoy each other and the moment. When your living for the moment, your life becomes very much enjoyable. There is love in our hearts for each other. It's as if we picked up right where we left off, what a wonderful thing. The laughter and love we felt will not be forgotten, and will remain in our hearts forever. Thank you for loving me for who I am. What a big step this is in my life. I still have to take this all in, my heart and soul is full of love, I've never felt anything like this before. There is a peace inside me. And now my life can move on.

Thank you so much to all of you.

Much love, always

Drams Do Come True

Hello all. The time is now for all good friends of the past to come together! Only 2 more days, we all are freaking out to say the least. To have Kaye and Trudy there to meet me at the airport is beyond belief, and then all of us to meet Terri when she gets off the plan just doesn't even sound real. Then we are all together again! What a dream come true.
All of us have been talking about all the things we used to do together, all the places we went to hang out and last but not least, where we went to eat. The whole experience has brought so many fond memories, just what I needed at this time in my life. It's wonderful how God works in our lives, He has it all planed for us. Everything as it should be.
I've been looking at the weather for Poky, it's going to be in the 90*'s, I guess I'm going to bring Arizona weather with me. To have it snow just 3 weeks ago there, and now in the 90*'s for the weekend. That just doesn't seem right.
To our next experience together, and may there be many more!
