WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Wednesday Everyone,

Hope your week is going well. Yesterday was a horrible day for me....I'm praying today will be much better. I hate when I have a very stressful day and it seems to get worse instead of better....that's how yesterday was. All in all I am very grateful that today is a NEW day and that I woke up even though i didn't sleep well at all last night. I'm sure I will definately have a nap sometimes today. I have a very busy day on my agenda today. We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for everyday whether we think we do or not. Today I am grateful that it is a new day, grateful for my family, friends, my WLS, Obesity Help, grateful for God in my life and that he is there with me everyday whether my day is going well or not. Grateful for my church and that God hears and answers prayers. Grateful for all these forums here on OH and all the precious, amazing people on them always there to help someone out with questions as they go through their WLS journey. Grateful for support groups and encouragement that we get from others. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Vivian,

I just want to say how much I enjoy your grateful posts. I had my band in 2008 and I remember seeing you on here posting then.  Now, I am scheduled for a revision May 2 and I see that you are still posting these. 

 I think having an attitude of gratitude in everything we do allows us to stay positive and shifts our focus on what is good rather than what is wrong in our lives.  I try to have that same mentality every day.  When I go home, I am grateful for my kids, my husband, my home, our life together.  At work, I am grateful that I have a job, that I am lucky enough to be able to go to it daily and that I enjoy it.  Sure, there are things in my life Id like to change, people I am less than happy with, cir****tances with situations that aren't ideal.  Remembering why I am grateful keeps me grounded. I believe happiness is a choice and gratefulness encourages that choice! 

Thanks for continuing to bless us with your posts:)

Awe thank you.    I've been on OH for 9 yrs maybe longer.    I will pray that you have a successful revision from your band & your right about being grateful.

Hugs & Blessings--- Vivian
