FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Happy Friday Everyone,

Glad the weekend is finally here.   Not much planned as yet but I have my OH Support Group meeting on sunday and I am so grateful for that and for everyone who attends it.     You know....sometimes we all take things for granted.    We really shouldn't though.   Life is a "gift" to us all.   None of us have any promise of being here tomorrow much less any promises of being here today too.   So let's all be so grateful for all the blessings that we experience daily in our lives.    
Today I am SO grateful for......
Waking up, having a mind to think and legs in which to walk on,
For not being homeless and having food to eat,
For my WLS, family and friends,
For being able to live in a nation where I can make my own choices in life,
For my Faith and answered prayers, 
For Obesity Help and all the fantastic people here always willing to help someone out,
For the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. in September,
For Support Groups and for my OH Support Group.

Have a blessed weekend and PLEASE feel free to share with us what you are grateful for.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

   My Friday grateful post would be so long if I truly posted all for which I'm grateful for today.  This time last week I was in University Hospital in Louisville, recovering from injuries in auto accident.  After a totaled car, 2 surgeries, & 6 1/2 days in hospital I am now home & recoverying. (1) So thankful that I was more than 65 pounds down from my all time weight.  I am convinced that injuries & recovery time would have been much more difficult without the WLS.  I'm sure that EMS workers, and others were glad to not have to lift so much extra weight.  (2) Also thankful that my guardian angels helped steer my car to land safely in some shrubbery, just a foot away from a brick wall. 
(3) So very, very thankful for the love, the grace and the faithfulness of God is sparing my life and bringing me safe thus far.  The journey continues with an attitude of gratitude! Happy Week-end, All!

 Jeanie.....I too am SO grateful that you are alright.   You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you recover at home.   Have a blessed weekend !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
