Another thought!

Me again. I've been thinking again, about us, and how we all seem to be struggling with things. And I wonder what you all think of this idea. What if we took the time to read all our profiles! I mean that way we would really get to know each other, get to see what struggles each other had (which are probably like our own struggles), and focus on what we had to go through to get here, and what our life was like before surgery. I think it would be a positive thing to do. Do we want to do it in a systematic way - that is every week come up with someone and take the week to read their profile?? Then that person would choose who's profile to do next?? Is that too organized and structured?? Let me know what you think of this idea. love donna

Donna, I am really responding to your other post!! But I am always a day late due to my location. I so admire you enthusiasm and support. Thanks for the wonderful boost up and really it helps. I know I have more to loose and have so enjoyed the support from you and others on this forum. Together we can do more than we can do alone. Thanks for caring so much and know I am here...ready for all ... And Carbs..>WOW, those are sneaky little things that I am sure are slowing me down. Gotta give it to Barb for the Fitday.com suggestions. Well, Donna, count on me.. and I'd love to read profiles( guess that means I need to update!!) Thanks Again Donna. Jacqueline

Hi Jacqueline, okay, get your profile updated!! and thanks for your sweet words. Trust me, I am not trying to take on the role of 'cheerleader' but sometimes when one of us is down, the rest of us can boost the others up. Like have you ever heard that thing about the geese, they all fly in a v shape, and when one gets weak or sick, one of them falls out of the formation and flys with it until they can get back in formation, jus****ching it. That's us -- a bunch of geese!! So when I get out of formation and need helop, I know you'll be there for me!! love you Jacqueline, donna :sexyP:

Excellent idea Donna!!! I think it would be great to do one a week, that way we can really get to know everyone, and it will give everyone time to update their own.

Betsy, I'm glad you liked the idea. I think I'll put something out about it. Take care of yourself Betsy! love donna

Hey Donna. Boy, you're full of 'em aren't ya?!! I think it would be a wonderful idea to have everyone read each other's profiles. I do some already, but this way, we can kind of see where each other's coming from. Boy, I gotta catch up! Thanks for the kick. In the morning, I'm starting my day off on Sparkpeople.com . That's a good way to keep track of exercise, food, etc. Got me some strawberries and deli meat at W.M. tonight to arm myself! Good luck everyone!!! G'nite Kelly

Kelly, yeah, sometimes my creativity jucies are even too much for me to handle. I just don't know if people want to be structured, or just do it on our own. That's probably the best way. But it does get you to update your profile, which I have to do too. So did you have a good dinner!! You'll be happy to know that one of my daughters and grandson is coming to visit me next week so I'll be outta sight for awhile and won't be harassing you all!!! Ha ha!! Take care Kelly and have a good day! love donna
