~~Daily Thanksgivings~~

"We either make ourselves happy or miserable.    The amount of work is the same.— Carlos Castaneda"
Good Morning Cali Friends, What are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for:

1. My healthier lifestyle and that I no longer need to take numerous medications.
2. My husband and family who are there for me 100% with love and support.
3. My OH friends who are like family.

OK, your turn, what are you thankful for today?

I choose Happy!  Thanks Barb!

Lets see I am thankful for so much today.

God, My Family, My Friends, 

That is just my quick list.  lol.  Hope everyone is having a beautiful day today it is gorgeous where I live!  Very hot and peaceful.  I am thankful for that too.

Enjoy your day!

Good Morning Barb!  Thank you so much for starting this post.  It's such something so positive to start your day with.

I am thankful for my husband, who no matter how many hours a week he works, which is always over 40, he comes home night after night, makes sure I get fed, cleans the house on his time off, and is just an all around great guy. He does anything I want to do, and never complains.  I don't know why I am this lucky to have such a wonderful, loving, caring man.

I am thankful for my friends, that have been here, called whatever, to help this time pass as I wait for surgery.  For those that don't know me, I never sit down.  I am up doing things all the time, cleaning the house, cooking, doing whatever it is I do, but sitting is not one of them.  Now to have to be on my butt for the last 6-7 weeks, I don't even know how long it has been, has only been made easier by friends.

Morphine pills.  I can remember last week when I started to feel really good and thought, "I am healed"...NOT, as soon as I didn't keep a constant flow of it in my body, well all I can say is "OUCH"!

Everyone has a blessed and happy day...Diane

Good Morning Barb

Today I am thankful:

I woke up this morning.
Spending time with my husband
My faith
My "furry" canine daughters
My family and my friends
and to OH for bringing me friends that have changed my life.

Thank you Barb. Once again your quote spoke to me. I too choose "Happy". Life is what you make it. You are the "captain" of your "ship"!

Have a fantastic day!
Hugs, love, & friendship,

Hi Barb and Cali Crew,

I am thankful for the following;

1. Finding a new way to eat a particular dish I like but in a much healthier way
2. The California OH Forum where I get support and great advice
3. My husband came home safely from a 4 day trip
4. I work in an office where I can listen to music all day

That's it for today.

I too, choose happy.....

things to be thankful for:

1) husband and kiddos, of course!
2) health (although I have to schedule my yearly check up)
3) the process of learning to say "no" to things that I don't want to do (this was hard!  I am a people pleaser!!)
4) patience
5) a job (one that I love too!!)
6) my friends, both in the cyber world like OH and in reality, like Kristine!!
7) my faith that helps get me through

too many things to list really .......

I'm like others on here today....I choose to be happy

I am thankful for:

My girl that is happy to eat whatever I give her on nights that I don't really feel like cooking.....last night she had cut up fruit with yogurt and a plain cheese quesadilla and said "Uuum, this good" instead of "this is dinner?!?!?!"

the fact that I can take some time for myself and really know that it's OK to do and that I am totally worth it

the way my 20 year old son wants to be "macho" but will still give me a hug and say I love you Mom

I am with your girl that sounds like a wonderful dinner to me!

and you are well worth taking as much time as you need for yourself dear.  I have a funny feeling you do a lot for other people and expect little if nothing in return.  I maybe wrong, but I honestly doubt it.  I thought I was wrong once, but ended up being wrong!  lol.

Have a super duper rest of the day!

I am sending you  hugs now

(((((((HUGS))))))

Nice quote Barb.  Happiness is definitely a choice and a choice all should strive to attain.

I'm thankful for another day to see the sun rise.

I'm thankful that I am so loved and am allowed to give love back in exchange.

I'm thankful that my grown son calls me for advice.  Finally we are back to the stage where it's "let's call mom and see if she thinks this a good idea".  He makes up his own mind, but appreciates my opinion.

I'm thankful that when I told my son about a client who has offered me the use of his condo in Puerto Vallarta anytime I want it, that my son wants to go on vacation with me.

I'm thankful I'm having such a great "mommy" day.

I'm thankful for a secure job that allows me to pay the bills.

I'm thankful that I'm getting to have a girls only weekend in Vegas next month with my BFF.

I'm thankful that I have the best doctor's taking care of me right now and I'm responding so amazingly to all my treatments.

I'm thankful that I'm getting to take a long overdue vacation in a couple of months.

Today has been a great day.

Hey Barb....I, too, choose 'happy'...not only is it a choice, it is a state of mind!  Great quote, GF ^_^

I am Thankful today for:

having the strength and courage to be who I am, no apologies or excuses.

having a husband who accepts me as I am...whi*****ludes being the happiest I can remember being in a very long time.

for a Heavenly Father who not only walks with me, but carries me when I can barely crawl.
