THURSDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Morning Everyone,

Life offers us NO guarantees nor anything else for that matter.  Life is what WE make it.   Today I chose to make it a great day.   Today I am so grateful for a program called Teen Challenge.    My middle son has struggled with drug addiction since he was 11 ( he's now 26 ).   13 months ago he came to us after being evicted from his 3rd apartment and he hadn't had a job in months to ask for help.   We adopted him as a infant from drug addict parents and he decided that he wanted to meet his birth Mom.    We met and he saw that she was still a addict and had no desire to change.   She looked about 80 yrs old and is only 58.   He entered into Teen Challenge about a month later after he got off the heron at my home with me watching after him.    For anyone with a friend/relative who has a drug/ alchhol addiction who is wanting to get off....it is not just for teens.   It is for anyone up  to and even older than 65 yrs. old.   It has about a 95% success rate and is a amazing program.   My son is totally drug free and a very amazing young man today thanks to Teen Challenge.    So today I am so grateful for this program and my son.   PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.    God bless you all.

As silly and possibly pathetic as this sounds, today I am grateful for my computer. It was down for a week. I got it back today. I was so happy to have it back. I really missed keeping in touch with all my online friends, especially on OH. I am grateful for all of you. You give me inspiration and information to keep me going and keep me healthy. I am also grateful for family and friends who are supportive of me. I hope everyone has a great day. Like Vivian said, we can CHOSE the kind of day we have. I , too, am choosing to have a great day today.

 Wooo Hoooo !!!  Sorry I am just now seeing this Kim.    SO grateful also that you got your computer back so quickly.     Have a amazing day and weekend.

Thanks, Vivian! You, too!!!

Kim, just 19 pounds to go!?!  You are so close to your goal!!!  How are you doing?

My best, Elizabeth

Thanks, Elizabeth. I am doing pretty well, thanks. How are YOU?

I am sad today because my Mom left Madison, today.  She was here for 4 weeks after my transplant!!!  Otherwise, I am busy scheduling rides for upcoming medical appts. and following up on phone calls.  I scheduled an appt. for next week with the bariatric nutritionist.  Before lunch I took a walk.  It is a nice day outside, 80's, slight breeze.  Thanks for asking!!!

you are in my prayers...
