Dennis - Thank you for all the you do for everyone. Your kindness and words of encouragement to everyone online and in person is truly inspiring. You are the BEST!! You mean so much to all of us....don't forget that :) Last night's meeting really showed how much we all need each other and how everyone will be there for one another no matter what. Glad your blues have been chased away...Can't wait til next month. {{hugs}}

Thanks so much Stephanie. It's really my pleasure to be with all of you. What a great group!

Two things....

1)  Change the font color.  No longer blue, remember?  ;-)
2)  Brian says you didn't look blue last night - same old brown dennis.  He's to much....

Thanks for sharing with us and I'm glad you felt a little better after lasts night meeting.  We're all allowed to struggle and feel blue - we are NOT allowed to pretend it doesn't happen.  I'm glad we were able to get to be with you and have dinner and all that fun stuff and get some much needed support.

Who knows - when we finally get to pa - maybe we'll get to see a whole lot more of each other!

Pam

Thank you Pam and thank Baldilox for me toooooo!
Check out the font color! LOL!
Looking forward to having you two join us in PA.

Hey Dennis,
You know very well how I feel about you.  You are the glue that holds our weight loss factory together.  Once again, your thoughtfulness and kind words were on display for all to see.  I hope you got a little out of the meeting as well to help cure your blues.  I can't thank you enough for hanging with me during my tough times - and Lord knows I've had enough of them.  Trust me, my good friend, your words did not fall on deaf ears last night.
Take care,
Andy Kovatch

Thanks Bro,
Keep the focus alive!

Dennis

Thank you Dennis, your dedication to helping others stands out as a sterling example of just what a bonus the people part of WLS is all about! 

It was certainly a GREAT meeting last night and I think if the leaders among us can stand up and admit they sometimes struggle, it helps the newer of us know that struggles are a real part of this journey and by supporting one another we can get through it.  Silence is deadly, glad you, Andy, Nan and the others who spoke out, hopefully got some relief in knowing we all care!  Your voices gave me the permission to put a voice to things when I am wobbling.

Hugs,

Hey Laureen,
Thank you for your words. It's truly amazing how we have one great meeting after another, after another. I think the key is ALL OF YOU! Your participating, giving, and offering but Everyone being there is the foundation. We have to be there to give and receive and when we can't be there, something is really missing and we're really missed.

We hope to offer more meeting opportunities very soon. It's coming and more of us will be able to benefit. I look forward to it.

Love,

Dennis
