MONDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Monday Morning Everyone,

Hopefully we will get some relief from our extreme Texas heat this week.    As we all know this is a " Grateful Post".   We ALL have so much in our lives to be grateful for...no matter how small they may be or seem.    I have so very much in my life to be grateful for just thinking about it makes my head spin sometimes.   LOL   Today I am so grateful for my WLS.   I had gotten so large that I thought that there was NO hope for me every looking normal or half way normal.     Thank GOD for my friend Virginia who had WLS a year before I did and told me about it.   If she had not urged me and kept on at me about it....I would probably weigh over 300 lbs by now.    Grateful for all the choices for WLS today.   BTW...they ALL work...you just have to work them the way they were designed and not stray from what you are educated to do.    Grateful for second chances for us and for family members.   Grateful for my Faith and answered prayers in my life.   Grateful for my husband and 3 sons.    Grateful for this website and for the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La.   It is coming up in  2 weeks !!!  Not too late to attend.     Think about it !!!   Hope to meet you there.   Have a blessed day and PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.


Hugs and blessings ~~~~ Vivian

For today..I am grateful...for my job and my co-workers. I hear others gripe about their jobs day in and day out. I couldn't stand to feel like that-btdt-when you have a hard knot in your gut, at just the THOUGHT of having to be somewhere/with certain people...life is too short/too uncertain to live like that..My job isn't fairy farts and rainbows everyday, but I am loved and respected, and mostly, they let ME be ME-warts and all. Some days I give 150%--other days only 50%, so it all equals out!! I was blessed to have found a career I love, at an early age-I was in the 4th grade when I decided "what I wanted to be when I grow up"....after ballereina/stripper/movie star/stewardess, of course !!

Thank YOU, Vivian, for this thread, that helps to stop and BE grateful

 Thank you for responding Gina.   I can't imagine having a career that I was miserable with.    Life would sure stink everyday if you had to live that way.    You have a blessed evening.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
