Grateful Post..

Good Monday Morning..

Today I am grateful..

That I am getting better each day at doing something good for my mind body and spirit..

That I know I need people to stand beside me not for me..

That I am not a bad person trying to get good instead a sick person trying to get well..

For my friend Bill..

For eight days..

 Grateful today that i serve a faithful God, that  he answers my prayers even though it is in his timing.   Grateful for my 3 sons ( even though one is giving me total hell right now ), and grateful for my husband of almost 33 yrs.     Grateful for my WLS, health, family and friends.    Grateful for support groups that are SO very important in our journey to become and be a healthier person.   Grateful for my life and all the trials that I am going through...because I know that it will make me to be a much stronger person.    Grateful for God......I would be crazy with all going on in my life right now without him !!!   Grateful for OH and everyone that I have met here on this site !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I am greatful for You...

I know that you are going through some things, but at least you are taking responsibility for your actions, and trying to be better....

I am greatful for a God that never gives up on us....
