Good Thursday Everyone,

Hope your looking forward to ending this week and for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend. I know I am although I have no idea why. As far as I know we have no plans. Everyday of our lives we have so very much to be grateful for whether life is going our way or not. We ALL should be grateful everyday for all the blessings that come our way daily such as opening our eyes and being given another chance everyday to make better choices than the day before. I can't imagine what my life would be like ( IF I still had one ) if I hadn't had my weight loss surgery 8 1/2 yrs ago now. My surgeon told me that without it He doesn't think that I would live another 10 yrs. I am SO very grateful for my WLS and for my bariatric surgeon. Grateful for life, family, health, weight loss, maintenance, the cool breezes we've been having although it's been pretty warm, my fur babies, God, my faith, answered prayers and so very many more things in my life. Grateful that my "tool" still works and even though my life is very stressful I've not had a huge weight re-gain. Grateful for everyday that God allows me to remain on this earth and that I can encourage others in their WLS journeys. Grateful for Obesity Help, these forums and life itself. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

A "twofer" this morning.  Cute dog and fart humor.

Fur child is confused this morning.  DW and Mom are taking her to the oncology vet to have some growths removed and a teeth cleaning.  She is NPO and not happy with no breakfast or treats this morning.  DW and I have to go back and pick her up late this afternoon.

Work will be interesting today to say the least.  Have to take a 70 year old woman to a forensic interview after lunch.  Made an outcry to the Meals on Wheels worker Monday about an incident over the weekend and if there is any truth to it have to work it to the end.

Go do your thing!

Ended with a decent day at work yesterday.  It's a little slow this morning, but hoping it will pick up this afternoon.  Not much else happening in my world.  Think we are going to cook out on the grill this evening.   I do have a Dr. appt. for my 2 month check in with my RA Doc. on Friday. Planing a trip up to OKLA this weekend to see family & take flowers out to the cemetry.  Hope everyone has a good day!

Good Wednesday Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good week. Thank God mine is going better than last week. I am grateful just the same....because I know that in the bad times I learn much needed lessons. Some of the things I am so grateful for in my life is #1 God, then answered prayers, my family, my WLS and all the choices of different surgeries, my health, and many many more things that I can't think of right now because I don't have enough coffee down. LOL Oh grateful for my morning coffee. Grateful for Obesity Help and the yearly conferences that they have although I haven't been able to attend one in about 3 yrs. due to the distance from my home and the expense. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and make today a great day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Another day in paradise on tap.   

Have a Great Day!
