WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Morning all you BEAUTIFUL people !!!

Hope that you are having a good week.    Mine has been pretty good...life tried to throw some rocks at me yesterday but I threw them back.  LOL   We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for everyday.....even on days that we don't feel grateful for anything.   If we truly sit down and reflect on our lives...we will find lots to be grateful for everyday.    Today I am so grateful for my dysfunctional family.   LOL  Not that it is dysfunctional everyday but there is no way everyone in my family is "normal" on a daily basis.  LOL    Grateful that we can laugh at our craziness at time when at other times we all cry.   I am SO grateful for opening my eyes today to a beautiful sunny day although we need the rain to continue here in Texas.   Grateful for God's unconditional love for us and for answered prayers.    Grateful OH SO grateful for my WLS and all the choices of different surgeries for the choosing today.    One size does NOT fit all....so do your research if you are pre op and chose the one that best fits your life and life style.    Grateful for all the different message boards here and the amazing people on them.     PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed and safe day !!!

I'm grateful for the continued lovely weather, my eye healing and that I made it through hump day - yay!! :-D

I am grateful for my health today.  I felt so bad for so long I thought I would never feel good again.  It is so strange to think of myself as healthy.  Three years ago I couldn't get out of bed.  I had no life, no energy.  I had embarrassing bathroom problems that left me feeling that I could never work outside my house again, never live with a man again.  I was so sick I couldn't even take care of my grand daughter and it broke my heart when I had to tell my daughter that I just couldn't do it any more.

Today I rode my bike at least 10 miles.  I try to do that most days.  I was listening to music on my headphones and I did something I hadn't done in years.  I sang out loud to the songs.  I was on a quiet street and I don't think anyone heard me but I was riding along singing Psycho Killer along with the talking heads.  I work outside the home and I actually enjoy my job.  I still don't live with a man but that is by choice.  I like living alone, well almost alone, and I like spending time with myself.  I don't need to be surrounded by people any more to feel okay.  Life is good today.  No drama because I don't allow it in my life anymore.  No conflicts, none but the normal worries that all parents and single people living on one income face.  I live a quiet, boring life and wouldn't have it any other way.

WOW What major changes and how very blessed that you are Ladytazz.  Congrats.   I LOVE hearing stories about how WLS has totally changed your life.    Thank you for sharing this with us and I am so happy that you are no longer confined to a bed.    Life is certainly amazing after our WLS.
