WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Wednesday to you.   I know that today is going to be a great day !!!    Today I am grateful for my life even though most of the time it is VERY far from perfect.    We have no guarantees of waking up tomorrow.   We have to just get our attitudes right and make the best food choices and other choices for our life as we try to improve and make our life as best as  possible.    Ya know the old saying.....Life is what you make it.....it is SO true.   We ALL have choices and can change things in our life and make it much better.   Today I am grateful for positive choices that we have the ability to make and for good attitudes and positive thinking so that we WILL be a success in our Weight Loss Journey.     PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for and please go out and have a amazing positive day.     God bless you.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Hi Vivian,

I hope all's well with you!

I'm grateful for my health, my wonderful husband, son and cat, and my great friends.
My artwork was accepted into a show in Chicago, so I'll be traveling on Friday. I didn't realize how much I wanted to be IN this show until I was waiting for the "acceptance- rejection" letter.

I'm grateful for the presence of God in my life. I see evidence of God every morning as I feed birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits... and I even have 4 baby groundhogs that come up and eat seeds next to me. (I call them all "Snuffles" because they all look the same. And they kind of look like Snuffles.)    A duck flew so close over my head last night that her feet touched my hair. (And, yes, I did scream like a girl a little bit. It startled me!) A squirrel hopped onto my chair and poked me in the hiney the other day, too. I love being part of the Nature Gang. It makes me happy to have critters running around everywhere.

And I'm SO grateful that the recall election stuff here in Wisconsin is over. However, the aftermath isn't very pretty. Friends are angry with friends because of differing viewpoints... and that's something I wish would dissipate soon.

Lastly, I'm VERY grateful that for the first time since band removal over 6 years ago, I do NOT feel ravenously hungry. I feel very moderate lately... and while it's something very NEW to me, I'm incredibly grateful. I've already lost weight because I don't feel like an empty pit. I eat when I'm hungry... and I stop when I reach a point of satisfaction. It feels like a miracle to me. I don't know if it's a combination of medication I've been taking and meditation or what... but... I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth!  I was very upset recently because I wanted to have a revision surgery... and it simply wasn't possible. And now I feel as if I don't actually need a revision surgery, honestly. I am VERY grateful for this!

Have a good day, Vivian.

Bless your heart Nic I'm so glad you are finding some peace, I know it's hard to do! I'm taking some meds that kill my appetite and sure helps even tho it's for my lungs not weight loss. I hope all the peace continues and keeps you free to enjoy the critters and your awesome art!
