Selfishness may be sweet only for oneself, but no harmony of the whole can come from it. -Tenrikyo Osashizu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angels don't need thanks; it's their job to help us. But it's good to show them gratitude for being with us through good times and bad. Learn to say 'Thank you angel!' no matter what the outcome. - Margaret Neylon

Diane, Sorry I haven't taken the time to tell you, but I really enjoy these daily inspirations! Thanks! Vivian

Hi Diane, I was hoping to hear from you and your lovely words. I am kind of sad. My birthday was not acknowledged by my daughter. I felt sad. I know I have friends and words here to cheer me up. no matter what. I guess at 53 I finally am maturing. I do keep money in my pocket now, without spending it. Have a great day and THANKS for your postings ...Lorraine

Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even. -Ann Landers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And no one knows you better, Than your angels know you, dear, For every day that you have spent on earth, They, too, were here. - Leigh Engel, "Angels Are Always There"

Well I am down -128 pounds and I am surprised I have lost that much. In the month of December I dropped 7 lbs because I was so busy. I really don't count calories but do try to eat the good things! However, my down fall is those darn crackers! I love cheese and crackers!!!! I am excited that I am started a support group as a chapter leader for the ObesityHelp website. Our first meeting is in February and so far I have like 5 people who want to come. Its amazing how many people want this sugery or want to be educated on it. I am wearing a 4/6 and before surgery I was wearing a 24/26. I will be having a TT this year. Just working on getting the paper work documented for insurance. karie ...glad to see all you are doing great! Its wonderful to see some postings here on the board!!!!!
