Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. -- H. Jackson Browne

Good Wednesday Morning Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for...

1.  The fact that this quote kicked me in the butt this morning regarding exercise.  This is another author I really admire and have a couple of wall hangings with his quotes on them which I hang in my offices and will be up again soon.

2.  Some wonderful former co-workers (from companies and school district) who continue to keep in touch and who are cheering me on like everyone here does.  Wow, I feel so incredibly blessed.

3.  Being married to the most wonderful man I've ever met.  Thank you God for bringing us together, he is my rock and my angel.

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Good Morning Barb!  Thanks for this quote, I love it.  Convicts me, but I love it. Today I am tired, but that is o.k. as after a pot or two of coffee I am sure I wll be fine!  lol.  Today I have a class to attend and I am really looking forward to that.  Then I am meeting up with some freinds and that is even better.  But today I am thankful for...

1.  That I have such a loving husband, who kisses me goodnight even when he is mad at me.

2.  That I have so man supportive friends.

3.  That God stretches me when I think I can stretch no more.

4.  That God gives me the strength to help others and share the knowledge of his love.

Thanks Barb for this wonderful Post I just love this.  But can you do me a favor and stop posting quotes that totally convict me!  roflmbo.  Only kidding this one just hit home today and Not 2 min ago did I say to myself I just don't have time.  Somehow you know what to Post, how I do not know but you alway**** the nail on the head when it comes to me!  Keep up the grea work!

Thank you Barb for a great quote that carries a good lesson. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for friday! Good luck, my friend! You will knock their socks off!

Today I am thankful for:

waking up and having a busy day and knowing I am able to accomplish whatever I set my mind to.
my family and friends who bring me back to reality when I am too hard on myself.
my faith and my God being a forgiving and loving God.
friends who go out of their way to bless me with their words or actions.
OH for bringing people into my life that mean the world to me.
And I am always thankful to Barb who chooses the most appropriate quotes. You are such a blessing in my life and I look forward to spending a few minutes each day reading your post and the replies. Hugs!

Hugs, love, & friendship,

Michelle T.

Ha Ha.. the trick is to use your time wisely, huh? I wish I had more time away from work.. seems like I am always here (i.e. at work) and missing out on so much family stuff... but then again I love spending the paychecks!!!

I am thankful that I have had a very productive morning this morning...

and not to be funny... or gross...

But, I am thankful for the morning BM that eluded me yesterday but made a stellar appearance today!!!

Am thankful too that work is letting me have the day tomorrow for doctor's appts (that I know are going to go great!!!) and to be there for moral support for my family after a family court mediation regarding custody...  and preparation for a hearing on Friday re custody and guardianship matters for my neice.  Its such a sad situation, but I think we are on the right track... please send out prayers and good juju for my family that everything goes well for my Niece's sake.  She is 8 and her name is Victoria - we love her lots and can't imagine her not being a part of our lives.

Love and squeezes all around!!!

Hello All...

I am thankful for this post that really lets me concentrate on something positive each day when I can get so down with my life situation right now.

I am so thankful for my Mom who helps me in every way she can and supports me even when I feel sometimes she is asking me too many questions.

Im thankful for this surgery that is helping me to shed pounds, even though Im still having troubles with eating. 

Im thankful for this board so I have a place when Im down to read and motivate myself!

Hugs,

Jackie
