3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY!

Good Morning to all, Glad to see that Darla and Kathy are having fun. I agree that no one is perfect and we should just respect each other and realize we all have different feelings and have come from different places in search of support and encouragement. I have tried very hard to live by these words and if I have offended or hurt any ones feelings I am truly sorry. I try to support all and give positive thoughts as well. I have learned so much from the board and have learned so much from the few meeting I have attended. I hope to one day have surgery but my Doc said now is not so good due to the stress I am under from my Mom being so ill. At times I feel so confused and just crazy. I hope to have it straight one day. I hope this board can continue to thrive and we all support and care for each other.

Hi Julie!!

Well, what can you do when you have a group of people from all walks of life?  Whether people agree with it or not, I just block people now for whom I have no use - it just frees up the space, you know?  I don't have time for games, either, and have gotten so much from this board that there's no way I'll EVER be scared away.  I'm here to stay, and I hope you are, too.

Hey Julie,

The best thing to do is just ignore what everyone has to say.  Because there is always two sides to a story.  Most of the time when the story has been related so much what comes to your ears has been completed distorted. 

That is why I don't really care anymore what the nay sayers have to say.  They have nothing better else to do but just try to stir the pot when things have gotten quiet. The reality of the matter is that a lot of people strive on "drama" and so you see them not supporting anyone here on the board but only resurface to get a rise out of people.    People like that I have removed myself from them and I just don't deal with it anymore. I have too many important things in my life than to deal with the BS. You know what I mean?

I am so glad that you are here to give support.  You have no idea how important that is to many pre ops especially those that has not had the courage to post on line. 

When I post my affirmations I really don't mind if no one participates. What matters to me is that someone that might  have needed the encouragement read it received something from it. That is what I call paying it forward and it makes me happy.

Your doctor is right Julie when we have so much stress in our lives it can deter us from being successful.  The time will come when you will have your surgery and that will be when the time is right for you.  In the meantime I hope you continue to post here because I love reading your supportive posts.

Lately I have been so busy that get on post and then I am running like a maniac all day long.  It has taking me one hour to finish this post to you.  Girl there is never a dull moment in my house.
I have my 7 1/2 year old sick with flu symptoms for 2 days now and I am just waiting for everyone else to follow with the same since you know kids love to share their germs.

I hope and pray that your Mom is doping good considering her situation.  I always have you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Have a wonderful day sweetie!

Hugs,

Cira, Thanks for your support and kind words. I will just try to help support and encourage anyone who may need it. I have been through so many struggles in my life and I feel I need to help people like many have helped me. I realized long ago that we really never know when a kind word could change someones day. That is what I try to live by. I know to well that there sometimes are many sides to a story and  you just need to judge the situation yourself and go from there. I like reading the affirmations and I am glad you do them. I too hope someone can take what they need and leave the rest. I trust my Doc but want to lose this weight so badly. I am trying to be patient and I thought I had my ducks in a row and then Mom had the stroke and many other problems arose so my ducks went every which way and headed back to the pond. I am trying to hold on and do what I can for now and that is so hard some days. I will keep fighting and hoping and praying too. I hope your kids get well soon and I hope you do not get it. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers too.Take care and stay happy...

Tia, I do understand and I hope I can hang in here too. I will just do my best to be me and try to help whoever I come in contact with. I guess blocking in some cases is needed and that is a very personal choice but if people must block for their reasons I say go forth and block. Have a good day and you hang in there too..

Aw, Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby, Bernice!!!!!
