~~Daily Thanksgiving~~

Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.

Lance Armstrong,

Happy Friday Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for...

1.  That today is Friday, which means my interview is one week away, our luncheon is one week and one day away and I can sleep in tomorrow.

2.  Being able to help others in need, it may not be much but it's help.

3.  My husband and family (both OH and non-OH friends) for you keep me going and laughing and staying focused.  Thank you!

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Good Morning Barb!

Boy, does your quote ring true! Actually, I love this quote, it gets me through some tough times. Along with "And this too shall pass". We can do it!! I hope you have a wonderful "unplanned" weekend.

Today I am thankful for....

1. A roof over my head. That I have shelter to lay my head and keeps me     and my family safe.

2. That we have food to eat, to help sustain our bodies and keep us healthy.

3. That we have a support system of family and friends, to lift us up when we are down or to help us when we need it.

4. That we have the ability to help others that may need our help or support.

5. That I am able to breathe, walk, talk, hear, see, and use my arms and hands on my own.

6. That I woke up to enjoy the day and bathe in the love and glory of my God.

7. For the love, support, and friendship OH has brought into my life. For the cyber-friends who are becoming like family to me.

Much love, respect, & friendship,

Hey Michelle, love the new avatar!  You're looking great!

Hugs,
Barb

I'm thankful that while running today I went  by an Elementary School.  The weather was cool and hazy.  They had  just cut the grass and the smell was incredible.  It brought back memories of the promise of new beginnings in Fall and the reality that my favorite time of the year is almost here......Fall and Winter. 

Such a true quote!  And very appropos for me today... Im feelin emotionally low again.. which is so unlike me.  Probably because Im falling into a rut with losing my dinner and waking up exhausted... hopefully the weekend will give me some time and space to sort it out.

I am thankful for the weekend!
I am thankful that I don't have any problems with breakfast and lunch!
I am thankful for the patience my Michael has with me at dinnertime!
I am thankful for the strength not to give up or give in!
I am thankful for the millions of ways to prepare chicken!
I am thankful for my own space, as well as family and friends' support and friendship!
Did I already say Im thankful for the weekend?

Group HUG! wow, do I need to give and receive it today!

Good morning Barb and fellow OH members

I love your quote today.  I started with my personal trainer this week and she's been kicking my butt.  But your quote says it all...the pain is temporary and I can handle that.  I can not handle the option of quitting.  So onwards I go....

Today I am thankful for:

1.  A 2-day reprieve from the personal trainer  LOL

2.  Being less than 2/3 of the way to my goal...and I'm only 6 1/2 weeks post op!!!

3.  It's Friday and that means 2 days of fun and frolic.

I hope everyone else is having a wonderful Friday and have some fun plans for the weekend.

See you all next Saturday :)

Laurie

Thanks Barb another good quote!

Today I am thankful for....

1.  I get to get out of the house for a few minutes to pick up the kids uniforms (little ones are in a mood and screeming today!)

2.  That I am going to get to take a nap later (i Hope)

3.  That I do not have to go down the hill again today!  I am pooped today!

Sorry I am not so positive today, I am just so tired and my fibromyalgia is kicking my butt.  Maybe a nap will work for me today or at least I am hoping it will.

Today I am thankful for:

1.  Waking up this morning.  Oh, and realizing it was FRIDAY!!!!

2.  2 days off to Play

3.  My daughter is coming home to go to a wedding.

4.  Making it to DFG yesterday to get my tags to go hunting

5.  Being married to a wonderful man who takes such good care of me and is fun to spend time with.

6.  My parents making it home safely after being gone 3 weeks on "walk-about".

Hi all,

Today I am thankful for:

1. The weekend being here in 3 hours and two minutes
2. The Smooth Tea I bought yesterday is working on my insides (I know, gross, but I am thankful, trust me)
3. My job even though I constantly wish I had more free time to exercise, read, go to the beach and keep my house clean and organized
4. That the fire in the Santa Cruz mountains has not taken anyone's home

That's it for me!
