TUESDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.   I'm sure most of you are looking forward to the weekend already.    We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for.    Sometimes we tend to take things for granted but the we truly have no guarantees of anything in this life.    Today I am SO grateful for my WLS and all the choices of surgeries,  my family and friends, my health, support groups and encouragement from others in this journey we are on.   Grateful for this website.  Obesity Help is a wonderful source of information for everyone.   I have been on these message boards now for over 9 yrs learning all I can.   Grateful for the life that I have been blessed with.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed day !!!

I am so guilty of taking things for granted until I stop and think about things.  Your post today made me do that-thank you.

I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to have WLS.  My life and the things I can now do have changed so much in the almost 4 years since my surgery.

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Linda...please don't feel guilty.   We ALL take things for granted from time to time ( me included ).    I just want to let everyone know that no matter how bad things seem...there is ALWAYS something we can be grateful for.   Have a amazing evening.

My youngest child, who just turned 18, got her drivers license today!  I am free from being on call and chauffeuring duties.  She is working nights and last night I had to pick her up at 1 am.  No more!  My time is mine again, for the first time in nearly 31 years.  

Mostly I am grateful that with 5 children, all adults now, they have all turned out exceptionally well.  No drugs problems, no legal problems, nothing other then the normal teen angst that I thought would never end.  They are all employed, educated (or in the process), the older 3 have successful marriages and they are all productive citizens.  There is nothing in the world more important to me, nothing I will ever do will be as important as the fact that I helped put 5 good people in world.  I am blessed beyond belief.

Congrats to you and your daughter on her getting her drivers license.    Congrats also on none of your children being a "problem child".    That is a HUGE blessing to parents especially in our world today.    Enjoy your freedom !!!

Hugs & Blessings ~~~ Vivian
