~~Daily Thanksgivings~~

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Good morning Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thnkful for...

1. Patience, perserverance and acceptance that this job search may last longer than I had expected but that I have talent that someone will want.

2. My loving husband who keeps me grounded and makes me laugh

3. My mother-in-law and step-mon who both have stepped in for my mom (bless her soul) with love, support and encouragement.  I am so lucky to have been blessed with both.

4. My OH friends and family who have added so much to my life, thank you!

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Hi Barb!  Love the quote!  Have to say its something I live by.  The things I am thankful for:

1.  My Mom who taught me I could do and be anything I set my mind to.
2.  My Dad who has been my personal trainer these last couple of weeks.
3.  My other half who is always there for me and tries his best not to make faces or laugh when I am being ridiculous!
4.  My OH friends who have inspired me and have given me constant proverbial food for thought during this journey.
5.  My Mom (again) who has been saying the sweetest things!  Just the other day she said I looked like my Nana when she was young... and the pictures Ive seen of her in her youth are regal and so so beautiful!  That one brought tears to my eyes.
6.  All my family and friends who have been praying for me.

I hope everyone is having a nice day so far... yes, I know its early... I am off to see my nutritionist.. Tracy Taylor! yay... Love love love her!

Love,
Rachel

Good Morning Barb,

Today I am thankful for many things.

1.  Love, the love I get from my family and friends and that God allows me to accept.

2.  My Awesome husband who allows me to be the nut that I am and still loves and supports me and encourages me to just be me.

3.  My OH buddies who are always there for hugs (cyber ones too) and support, that tell me when I messed up and hold me accountable, and that are there for me when things are good or bad or just what the are.  I love you Guys.

Well I am off to houseclean as relatives should be here this afternoon and I gotta make the Rhonda B&B ready for them. 

Have a blessed day.

Rhonda

 Good morning Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

For a cup of coffee in the quiet of my home

For some alone time 

For the love and care of my husband, daughter and family--yes I am fortunate to still have both my parents living!

For the opportunity to make choices and live freely.

For a loving God who makes us perfect in His own time and in His own way!

Hey Barb......  I agree with Rachael, that is a wonderful quote!

I must admit that I have had that challenge this week where I let someone hurt and judge me who does not even know me, make me into something else that I am not. (an angry hurt bear)  I know, sounds confusing, but it does happen!  hehehehe

I thank God though for through forgiveness I will let go of this....

Today I am thankful again for my wonderful husband who can make me laugh so hard and sometimes angry at the same time! lol

My mother who drove me to my doctor's appointment this morning and then treated me to breakfast.  To be able to be good friends and laugh and talk with her is just a wonderful thing!!!

Have a wonderful, wonderful happy day you guys!!!

Blessings!  Jeni

 

To be yourself.....  Oooh, that's a hard one for me 'cause I'm still trying to figure out who I am so I can be myself.  I'll get there though.....

Today I am thankful for:

being able to tell my housemates (son and grandson) some things they were doing that were totally bugging me in a calm and collected manner and that they seemed to understand where I was coming from.......

fun plans for the weekend that actually begins tonight

the love and support I receive from my online OH friends



thought of another thing I'm thankful for:
Sally Hansen wax strips for an at-home in-between-touch-up 

Barb,

I love today's quote.  Just as I felt I wasn't living up to the world's expectations today, this quote reminds me I just have to live up to my own expectations!!

Today, I am thankful for......

-My co-workers who presented me with a big Hello Kitty Birthday Princess balloon and goofy stress relief toys for my birthday

-An interesting project at work for me to organize

-All the phone calls and Facebook Happy Birthday greetings

-My ability to appreciate things I never could before.

Cheers,

MsBlues

Hello!

Today I am thankful for:

1.) Having super supportive friends and family

2.) Being able to log into the OH board and find such love and support by all of you wonderful friends here!

3.) for feeling good and having some energy now.. such a difference 35 lbs lighter

4.) and for being able to stand up and walk around for 2.5 hours last night at a network function, socializing and selling raffle tickets without pain.  (I couldn't even stand for a few minutes before.)

5.) meeting such nice people at the network function last night that want to actually help me find a good job and care about me in my work industry. 

What a blessed life I have with all of this, I need to remember it every day and pray for those that are not as lucky as me.

Hugs,

Jackie
