ONE THING FOR FRIDAY!!
Good afternoon everyone!!
Tia, You are such a wonderful person and friend! Hunter and I love you very much! Btw, Flexeril will make you drowsy. I have to take one every night cause of my leg. I hope you feel better soon.
Today, I am grateful:
1. That I have a side accounting job that is going to help me get through the month.
2. For taking the opportunity and signing up for college full-time.
3. For all of the wonderful support I receive from the board.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Becki

Beautifully written Tia, you can really tell that didn't come from the top of your head, it's very obvious it came from the depths of your heart. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for starting our board each am, with a positive thought to think about during our day. You always seem to find the silver lining in a sky filled with storm clouds. Thanks, Leslie:)
Tia, This post really touched home and I want to say thanks so much....I have searched for a long time for a place to fit in. I always felt I was on the outside looking in. When I came to this board I wanted wls so bad. Then my Mom got ill and I took care of her for almost 3 years. My plans were put on hold. Cira was here everyday and I felt a connection with her and knew she did not judge anyone and she helped everyone she could. I thought I found my place..I then went off the board for a while and planned to try for wls again and my hubby had to have heart surgery. I then put me on hold again.I have been a care giver all my life. I was so happy to feel I had friends here *****ally knew where I was coming from and then something happened on the board. People seemed to stop talking to me. I did not know what I had done. I still posted everyday and tried to support and encourage everyone here but I had that outsider feeling again. Then one day someone came to me and apologized for some very hurtful things. I know it takes a very strong person to come forward and admit their wrong judgments. I am still hurt but feel that I have learned a valuable lesson in all of this. I have always had trouble forgiving and forgetting but this time I have tried very hard to get over this. I have learned that from being overweight, obese or whatever you want to call it it has made me sensitive to so many things. I am happy to say that I can't wait to meet the person that was brave and strong and apologized to me. I also am proud to call them my friend. This has been the 1st time I have really been able to let something go that hurt so bad and man did it feel good. Thank you Tia for this post... Cira you are such an inspiration to me and thanks for your support as well... Sorry to ramble but I just wanted to tell how this board has effected my life. Hugs, Julie
Thank YOU for your words, Julie. I pray that one day, when you're ready, and the time is right, that you pick the wls and surgeon that is right for you. It's definitely not something to be taken lightly, but I hope you don't keep putting this off to focus on others. Believe me, I get that, but keep in mind that often, the caregiver has to be in tip-top shape to take care of others!!
Hugs,
Tia

Tia, thanks so much. I just can't put anymore on my plate right now. I don't think I could handle the surgery now with all the stuff that is going on. I know I need to be in good shape but mentally I don't think the time is right for me. I am still hoping and praying that it wil be right soon. Maybe when Mom gets some place safe and stable I can start worring about me, myself and I......
