Good Friday Everyone,

Well here it is...the day that everyone looks forward to at the beginning of every week.    I know lots are so grateful that it is friday.    We ALL have so much to be grateful for everyday or our life.  Today I am grateful that I had WLS and that I have not gained a huge amount of weight over the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday's so far.   In fact I am grateful that I have not really gained anything at all.    Grateful that I can now loose weight and keep it off and don't feel like my life is hopeless and I am doomed to be obese for the rest of my life.    Grateful for all the people who have come into my life this past year that wasn't in my life last year.    Grateful for all the things that God is doing in my family.    Grateful for Obesity Help and all the amazing people that I have met here on this site,,,for their staff....for all the great information available for everyone here also.   Grateful for the holiday season.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Solitude on tap for me tonight since Jan is going South for a visit to the "appearance enhancement center", quality time with her besties and get the granddaughters.  Having the informal office Christmas party today at lunch and that is the highlight for my day.

Go Forth and watch out on the roads.  Heavier than normal traffic and rain don't mix. 

Good Thursday Everyone,

Hoping that your week is going well and you are getting ready to finish up any Christmas shopping this coming weekend.   It is hard for me to believe that it is less than a week now till Christmas.    I am SO grateful for this time of year ( it's my favorite time of year ).   I am so grateful for the joy that Christmas brings to most people.....the entire meaning...true meaning that is for this season.    Today I am grateful that I am finished shopping.   I really didn't do alot this year...but that's OK.     I am grateful that my family is all healthy and all have jobs.   Grateful for life and the beautiful weather we are having right now.     Grateful for my WLS and for no major weight re-gains over the past 8 yrs.    Grateful for Obesity Help and all the amazing people here on the message boards who truly care about others and their WLS journeys.    PLEASE share if you wish what you are grateful for today.    Have a blessed and safe day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Jan et al caught a mixed bag in meeting at work yesterday. They still have jobs for now but will have to commute to Mart to work.  Happy Camper she is not! Does have all next week off though. 

Speaking of work more of the same today. 

Good Hump Day Everyone,

Everyday of our life we should have so very much to be grateful for.    After all...we woke up alive and hopefully we are moving.    As I sit here every morning drinking my first cup of coffee....it is sometimes difficult for me to come up with alot to be grateful for but some days it just flows like honey out of my mind.   LOL   Today I am grateful for my computer and my coffee.    Without those 2 things I would not be able to function on the internet.    I am also very grateful for the internet.     I am grateful for my WLS, family, friends, Obesity Help, Support Groups, encouraging posts on OH and for everyone on these message boards ( don't think there are many still here now ) that helped me on my WL journey and gave me sound advice.    Grateful for the insurance approval for my surgery over 8 yrs ago.    Grateful that our ice storm is all melted and for the beautiful weather we have been experiencing.    Grateful for life itself and for this time of the year.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
