Good Tuesday Morning Gang!

Good Morning Gang and I know a wee bit early, but I have not been to bed yet and I desperately need to sleep, but I am fighting it for some reason. Lots racing through my mind to tell you the truth.

Silly as it may seem, there was a very minor quake up in DHS....would have never known it happened if I did not have the news on...so every squeek and creek...and the wind picking up again....makes me think okay it's the big one coupled with the fact the natives (BOXERS) are restless too!

The other thing that weighs heavy in my mind is the loss of Kristy. I never met her, but like everyone who has responed to Marta's post is what a kind, loving person she was. These are the times I really do question is there a God? How can fate deal you such a cruel ending and the devastation to a family? All I can say right now out of anger is that whoever brought Kristy life to a short end will feel the pain and the guilt of recklessly taking some unsuspecting victims life.

I know harsh words, but when you think of Kristy children and her family....what do they have to hold onto know....NOTHING....memories yes, but those memories are never going to be same because they do not have the lifetime to share it with their mother. Their mother will never be there to share all the wonderful events in their lives, all the little things that only a mother and child share....little silly stories....when she rocked you to sleep or fixed your boo boo, cried when you get married and revile in the joy of meeting a new generation....I am just pissed off and saddened.

So I have put this out there before and I would really like you to take this challenge EVERYONE....

We never know when tragedy will strike....we get busy....our lives move on.....look at your buddylist here on OH....or on someone elses's profile because sometimes you will see someone whom you have not seen around the boards in a long time....that photo will trigger something....email that person...ask them how and the heck are they...put yourself out there....that person would really appreciate the fact that you cared enough to take the time to write an email just to say hi.

We were reminded today that life is short and it could have been any of us....REACH OUT!!!

Also today Steve is having his hernia repaired....keep filling up his support page.....I know he appreciates all the well wishes: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/status.php? N=J1110205956

Have a great day everyone!

 

PEACE OUT!!!!  

MORNING JANINE AND ALL OF THE REST.

WOW I HATE MORNINGS LIKE THIS, WHEN I WENT TO BED  MY PROBLEMS WERE OVERWHELMING FOR ME. THEN I WAKE UP AND WE HAVE LOST A WONDERFUL FRIEND KRISTY FROM OUR GROUP. 

 I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR DO. I'M ALL BUT NUMB. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN SOMETHING SO TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN. 

KRISTY WAS A WONDERFUL LADY AND WILL BE MISSED BY ALL OF US, I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE HOW HARD THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR HER ENTIRE FAMILY.

SHE IS NOW IS A MUCH BETTER PLACE BUT THAT DOES NOTHING TO HELP HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS. KRISTY'S FAMILY WILL BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

JANINE HAVE A SAFE DAY MY FRIEND.

STEVE YOU TO ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AS YOU GO INTO SURGERY TODAY. YOU WILL BE FINE AND FEEL LIKE A WHOLE NEW PERSON SOON. THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS STEVE AND I WILL TOO.

EVERYONE PLEASE AS YOU GO ABOUT YOUR DAY TODAY TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA CAREFUL. 

ALSO TAKE A MINUTE OUT TO REMEMBER OUR FRIEND KRISTY IF YOU CAN. 

TAKE CARE ALL 

Good Morning Janine and Calif Friends, What a powerful and important message Janine.  I never knew Kristy but I feel for everyone's loss.  She was a beautiful woman.  I pray to God that her children and her boyfriend are able to heal from this tragedy.  Sometimes we take life for granted and do not realize how many blessings we have in our lives..........or how we should of said something that we never got to say to a person until it was too late.  I know I am guilty of this. I hope you all have a great Tuesday, and I just want you to know that I appreciate being able to come into this forum and know that there is all of you waiting and willing to give me and others the help and support I need.  Blessings!  Jeni

I'm feeling kinda sad too I remember Kristy posting on the board and I met her about a year ago when Rita and I took a road trip up north and went to an OH luncheon I think theres a picture in my profile of the group that was there. We have to be thankful for everyday we have with eachother and take time everyday to be kind and smile and say Hi to those who dont  even know you or that you relate to ,,,  even friends and family thell them you care or your thinking about them ,, you just never know,,,, Well its Tuesday back to my 8 hour work day I wi**** was Friday already I could easily sleep through till then but thats not a good idea ,, Have a better today ,,, *Christine*      

Good Morning Janine and Cali, Just a quick hello this morning.  Things are really busy this being my last week of maternaty leave. I go to the doctor today and I'm sure I will be cleared to go back to work. Everyone enjoy the day. Monica  

Good Morning, I was up really early this morning, like 3:30 and then went back to bed.  I am still shaken by the death of someone I knew, if only slightly.  It's just so hard to believe that within an instant your life is changed, if not taken.  Makes you want to hold those close to you, closer.  That is why I find it really important that I tell those people that I care so much about how I feel.  When I am a friend of yours I am one forever.  Friends are precious and we should cherish every minute we have with them and family.  Unfortunately, I don't have some family members that feel that way.  Makes me very sad.   Other than the sadness, and the thoughts and prayers for Steve this morning, nothing else is going on.  Just a day to clean this house from top to bottom, and that is just the lower floor.  Onto the 2nd story tomorrow.   Hope that everyone has a wonderful great Tuesday, and THANK YOU for cooler weather. Hugs, Diane

Good morning Janine, Cali Crew, Cyber Friends, etc. I just came on the boards and I usually start here so I haven't read about the loss, but it saddens me none-the-less.  My mother died when I was 36 and it cuts like I didn't have the lifetime that I have had with her and to here that someone was taken from their children at someone else's hands, just makes me sad and angry. I do believe in God and am thankful for MY free will and strive everyday to be mindful that my actions affect others.  I treat others like I would want to be treated and that is all I can do.  Live right and be right.  My prayers are with her family.  It is in this time that we find out things about ourselves and others around us and I pray that this brings them even closer. As for me today (and other days) I realize that what I do is important to somebody so I am going to stop b*tching and complaining that my clerical stuff is boring and mundain and that I am "above" it.  Because it's what I get paid for and like I said what I do and do not do impacts someone else's life and work.  Anyway I'm off to earn my pay.... Lovingly, Ms Shell
