Good Monday Morning Everyone,
Since this is Thanksgiving week....I think that we should say what we are grateful for in our lives this week. The number one thing this morning that I am grateful for is a program called Teen Challenge ( this program is world wide ). It is a Christian Discipleship program for addicts. You know....we are food addicts and I am not sure if they have food addicts there but they work with men, woman and teens who have addictions to drugs, alcohol and porn/sex addicts. I have a son who is almost 27 that we adopted from birth whose birth parents were drug addicts. My son became addicted to drugs at 11 and we had no idea how bad it had gotten till he came to us 16 months ago and told us that he had been a IV heron user for 6 yrs or more and he wanted to stop and change his life. He entered into Teen Challenge a month later and has now been clean for 15 months of his addiction and he has NO desire for drugs now. I thank God everyday for this amazing program which has about a 90% success rate. I still go to the Teen Challenge chapel meetings at one of the Teen Challenges that he was at every week and take cookies and goodies to those precious men every week. If you know someone struggling with a addiction and need help.....Let me suggest TC for them. It is one amazing program that returned my son to me a new person. I am Thankful for God and Teen Challenge and the work that they do today. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good Friday Morning Everyone,
Well....friday is finally here. I know many of you are so excited and have lots planned for the weekend. I am going in a little while to help my DIL pack up their apartment and get ready to move to their first home. I will be helping move them tomorrow and pack things up today. I am SO grateful that they finally found the perfect home for their family. It is a very nice house but needs some work done to it. I am grateful for all 3 of my sons, my DIL and my precious granddaughter who is growing up way too quickly. Grateful for my husband of 36 yrs.....he works so hard so that I can stay home. Grateful for my home, car, computer and everything that I own. I am grateful for my WLS and most of all grateful for God and my faith in him. Please share if you will what you are grateful for and have a blessed and amazing weekend.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Life is not about perfection -
or a quest for perfection.
Life is about enjoying what we have -

Today is thursday or pre-friday as lots of people call it. Today and everyday we have SO very much in our lives to be grateful for. Today and everyday I am so grateful for the chance to live another day in a healthier body. In one week from today it will be Thanksgiving Day. That is the day that we reflect on all the things in our lives that we are grateful for....but to be honest....we should be Thankful or Grateful everyday of our lives. Everyday is a gift from God to us. It truly means more to me now than it did 7 yrs. ago before my WLS. LIfe is so precious and we should be so grateful everyday for life itself. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for. Have a blessed day !!!

Good Morning Beautiful people,
Hope your having a great week. Mine is shaping alright. As we all know we are ONE WEEK from Thanksgiving. So hard to believe that the holiday's are almost on top of us now. Where has this year gone? LOL I am SO grateful today for the holiday's although I am truly not ready for them. Grateful for the family time that happens this time of year. Grateful for my WLS so I now don't totally "pig out" during this time of the year. I truly don't dread the holiday's anymore. Not that I really did dread them....I just dreaded the HUGE weight gain ( pre op ) due to all the high calorie foods. I am grateful that I have a close knit family. Grateful for support and encouragement from them. Grateful for my faith and for prayers. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed day !!
