FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good TGIF Everyone,

I found this this AM looking for my motivational quote of the day and thought it was fitting so I'm sharing it with you.    

"For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude." 
Clarence E. Hodges

Hope everyone is making some great plans for the weekend.    My OH Support group is this coming sunday and I am working on that and looking forward to seeing my members.     Today I am so grateful for my faith in God.    I will never be ashamed of my Christian Faith and my love for God.    I owe everything to him and for his sacrifice for me and everyone else in the world.    I am grateful for second chances that we have everyday of our lives to make better food choices or better choices of exercises.   SO VERY grateful for my WLS and all the choices of different surgeries for the people considering WLS today.    Grateful that all the limbs of my body work and for the most part I am pain free.    I am grateful for where I am in my WLS journey.   Although I am not where I want to be weight wise....I am not where I use to be and I am grateful for that.   I am grateful for the 10 men who are in Teen Challenge in Azle, Tx. who will be graduating the program in a few weeks.   I am also grateful that I have the chance to go to Teen Challenge every thursday to bring a bit of home to the men by taking them cookies or whatever treat I make to bless them with.   It is a challenge to me because I LOVE sweets but they do to and they hardly ever get anything homemade and they are always so thrilled to see me.     Today I am just grateful for my very imperfect life.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for.   Have a safe and blessed weekend.    

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
