Guess What? It's a New Day

I used to have hard times forgiving myself.  If I ate the wrong food when I was on a diet, I gave myself an emotional beating and then threw in the towel.  I felt useless, hopeless, full of regret and despair.  But since wls, all that changed.  I wake up each day and think, "So what if I messed up yesterday? Today is a new day."

And, on top of that, it's a very special day.  IT'S FRIDAY!  The weekend is here, which means time spent with family and friends over bbq grills, covered dishes, swimming pools, and oh the wonderful experiences such as going to the lake, taking a day trip, or just laying out in the sun to soak up some Vitamin D.

Just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful weekend...  and encourage you to let go of the negative choices, words, thoughts, deeds, actions, anything that would tear you down and not build you up!

Happy Friday! And, Happy Living!

Wonderful thread and so true.  When someone strives to tear another individual down, they can only succeed if we allow them too.  So, I say, let it go and consider the source behind the negativism and move forward.  Life is too short and we, as WLS folks, need to enjoy every opportunity we encounter.

Good Morning All!  Well it looks like the storms have just about past us by.  Lord know we don't need any bad winds a blowing today!  Anyway, I just wanted wish all my friends a good day and a great weekend!

Live life to the fullest and enjoy what each days brings.  When I get to Home Depot at 4:00 in the mornings, I usally walk out to the garden dept. and take a deep breath!  What a wonder it does for me to know there is so much beauty in the world.  There is too much negativity in our own backyards, we need to be positive!

So, have a good weekend and build someone up, don't tear 'emdown!

Happy Friday, Everyone!  

It is a new day and aren't we the most fortunate ones to be alive to enjoy it?!?!?! 

Today is my father's 95th birthday.  Happy birthday, daddy!  Yes, he is still doing great!  He has been a minister in the Methodist  conference for 77 years.  He no longer fills a pulpit as he officially retired at age 89.  We will be going over to celebrate with him and mama tomorrow. 

And...my daughter will turn 17 tomorrow!  She is my pride and joy!!!  What a great weekend!  I'm going to make an ice cream cake for her birthday...she loves my low carb brownies and I will probably mix some Bryer's lo carb ice cream with some Gosh That's Good for the ice cream layer.  Yummy!

Happy Friday!
