THURSDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Pre Friday Everyone,

Hope that your 2014 is going well for you so far.   Mine is having a much better start than 2014.    We ALL have so very much to be grateful for everyday of our lives.    Today I am grateful first off...that my eyes opened this AM even if it is to a very cold day.    40* drop from our temps yesterday but I am grateful for it just the same.    Grateful for my WLS and all the choices that you have today for different surgeries....I had 2 choices when I had mine 8 yrs. ago.    Grateful for my faith in God, family, friends, life, health, Obesity Help and all the message boards and amazing people here on them.    Grateful for everyone of the friends that I have made on Obesity Help.    Grateful for all the people behind the scenes to make this website a success.    Grateful for whoever discovered all the different WLS.    Thank GOD that they did or I would be a total couch potato and probably way over 300 lbs at 5'1" tall.    Grateful that I finally decided last week to go to the doctor and get put on blood pressure medicine.    I have NEVER had blood pressure issues even at my largest weight but developed it due to all the stresses of 2013 on my life.    I truly feel like a "new person" since last friday when my blood pressure was 189/99.    It is totally normal now thank GOD and so grateful that I didn't have a stroke or anything due to it being so high.     PLEASE share if yoiu will what you are grateful for today and have a super blessed day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I am grateful for my return to my classroom today. Grateful that I have a job to return to and a paycheck. Oh yes, one more thing. I am grateful that I was able to get my butt out of bed at 4:45 and get on the treadmill for 50 minutes.  Bring it on 2014!!

My first 2 days of 2014 have been horrible and very stressful.  I need to remember that I have some very good staff who are doing their jobs and working hard for our clients.  I am grateful for them.  I am grateful to the ones that informed me of the problems that are occuring in my agency that I didn't know about because now they can be resolved.  I pray that God will give me the strenght and skill to resolve them in the best way for everyone.

Price I am so sorry that you new year hasn't stated off well for you.   Praying that you can get those issues resolved in the best way possible.   I will keep you in my prayers.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
