The End. Maybe.
Well, my story is done for the most part...I maintain my weight at 100.5 lbs now, and more often than not my days are physically pain and problem free. It's time to go live my life! But if this is the close to this blog, let me end with a favorite movie of mine, which expresses how I feel...
Bastian:
Why is it so dark?
Empress Moonchild:
In the beginning it is always dark.
A small light appears and starts growing until the two childs faces are
illuminated. It is coming from an object in Moonchild's hand. Bastian looks at it.
Bastian:
What is that ?
Empress Moonchild:
One grain of sand. It is all that remains of my vast empire.
Bastian:
Fantasia has totally disappeared ?
Empress Moonchild:
Yes.
Bastian:
Then everything has been in vain.
Empress Moonchild:
No, it hasn't. Fantasia can arise in you .
In your dreams and wishes Bastian.
Bastian:
How ?
Empress Moonchild:
Open your hand.
She puts the grain into his hand and he looks at it.
Empress Moonchild:
What are you going to wish for ?
Bastian:
I don't know.
Empress Moonchild:
Then there will be no Fantasia any more.
Bastian:
How many wishes do I get?
Empress Moonchild:
As many as you want. And the more wishes you make, the more magnificent Fantasia will become.
Bastian:
Really ?
Empress Moonchild:
Try it.
Bastian:
Then my first wish is...
Moonchild follows his gaze and smiles.
CUT TO- Bastian riding Falkor
Below them Fantasia has been reborn. Everything appears as before.
Bastian:
Falkor, it's even more beautiful than I thought.
Falkor:
Like it ?
Bastian:
Falkor, it's wonderful ! (Bastian looks around.) Falkor, it's like the nothing never was.
They fly over Rockbiter, the Nighthob, and the little man. Bastian waves to them and Rockbiter waves back. They change their direction and suddenly below them is a great endless field, the Great Plains. Bastian looks down and sees a familiar face from his imagination, only now its real.
Bastian:
Atreyu ! Artax !
Atreyu looks up, laughs, and waves as he and Artax are headed for home.
Falkor:
What would you like to wish for next?
Bastian leans over and whispers in his ear. Falkor laughs.
CUT TO-
View of the three bullies talking out on the street where they had chased Bastian the day before. They look up at the sky as Falkor and Bastian appear and start chasing them. They scream…
Bully:
A monster !
Bastian: Yea ! Look there they are ! Get 'em Falkor. Let's see how you like it chickens!
Bully: Down here !
(one of them cries pointing to the alley. They start to rest, but Falkor chases
them down there too. They start running again.)
Bastian:
We're gonna get you guys !
They run down the alley and jump into the dumpster as Falkor flies by them, laughing. They peer out of the dumpster and then duck back in.
VIEW- of buildings and the sky. We hear a voice, a narrator.
Narrator: Bastian made many other wishes and had many other amazing adventures before finally returning to the ordinary world. But that's another story.

Time for me to ride my own luck dragon. :)
