Grateful Post..

Good Morning OH’ers..   First of all, let me start off by saying this is not going be my typical grateful post.. I have not been posting because I have not been feeling grateful and I think it would be dishonest of me to post a grateful post when I am not feeling grateful.. I firmly believe that I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not.. So that is why I told Erica it would be okay to post the Grateful Post..   I don’t want you all to feel sorry for me and send me messages saying so but I have been going through some major issues in my life.. I know we all do and that is the great thing about being human we all have issues.. LOL..   Okay now that I have said all that it is time for my grateful post..   Happy Hump Day..   Today I am grateful..   For my REAL friends.. You know I who am talking about and if you have to wonder if I am talking about you, then I am probably not..   That I am dealing with the crap going on in my life..   That I am a better man for dealing with this the RIGHT way..   For things that made me smile during my time away..   That I remained alcohol free..   That Yvonne did a super job interviewing me and it can be seen at http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com/programs/wls-journey s/wls-journeys-guest-ramon-lopez.html/ and also check out her blog at www.bariatricgirl.blogspot.com

Hey Brother!  Sometimes we just gotta be real.  I want to say I'm grateful for you.  When I see that before and after pix flashing it so inspires me to be real and "press on".. Today, I offer you a hand of friendship and a big hug and say I thank God for you.  Keeping it real keeps me real too.  Big Big Hug, Nannyre

Thanks for being honest...One time I had a therapist tell me to make a gratitude list for homework.  He did not expect much, just one item a day.  I had a dear friend help me look at my days and see the things I could be grateful for.  Life really sucked for me at that time.  There were some days I could only write that I was grateful for the sunshine, and getting home from work safely.  That was a healthy start.  Soon, I was seeing God at work in my life in really neat ways.  

So, today I am grateful for getting my surgery scheduled, sinus surgery is in two weeks. 

I am grateful I had a snow day off from school.  I really felt lousy today.

I am grateful I got to an AA meeting.  I really needed it.

Hugs,
Trish
