    Hi ann,

     - the wait is almost over -

    this might be a good time to give thanks to your hips ..they have carried you and supported you all your life - 

     it is okay to be afraid - very normal actually ... so accept that this is so ..

    no need to be hars to yourself, you know ...

    everything is alright, darling

    big warm hug

    renee
