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

Today I am thankful for...

1.  The opportunity for the 2nd interview I had yesterday.  Thank you God for allowing me to put my best foot forward and knowing now it's in your hands.

2.  My father-in-law will be coming home Sunday after being in a hospital and/or skilled nursing facility since May.

3.  Another beautiful day.

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for

That you finally posted last night!  I was checking all evening long

For waking up in a good mood today.  It helps me feel better about what I am going through, and more positive about making it to the end.

Hugs 2 all, Diane

ok who's next?

Barb and all,

Barb, I am keeping my fingers crossed on your job search. It sure has been looking much more promising lately!

Today I am thankful for:

1. Wearing a shirt today in a size I haven't worn in 6 years
2. Having a non-busy work day
3. Noticing I've been snacking too much and have a need to reign that in and realizing it after a couple days as opposed to a couple of years
4. Having good medical insurance.

Next!!!

I'm thankful for my son because he has a good head on his shoulders and he's just generally a really nice person...That's hard to say when you have  teenager sometimes.

I'm thankful for my husband. Yesterday was our 19th wedding anniversary and we took our best man and his wife out for a nice dinner at Black Angus, with our son (who actually wanted to spend time with us...hence the thankful #1) I'm thankful for my dear husband..he's my best friend and I just couldn't do any of this (wls or living in general) without him...

I'm thankful for my job. So many are without and doing without because they have no job but I have a good one and should remember that and thank God every day for that job! I complain but I shouldn't.

I'm thankful for where we live and our house and all my little fur children...

Oh yeah, and for my family ... sort of... but without them, I'd really have nothing to complain about...
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Hi Cali Friends!!! Yet again, Barb!!! Love the Quote!... Ive always been a half FULL kinda gal and when I read this quote.. my first thought was my O is for OVERFLOWING!!! 

I am thankful for all the JOY in my life and for being able to see it for what it is and appreciate the simplicity and wonder of it all.

I am so very thankful for my OH friends, near and far...  and my family.. all of whom make up the best support system I could ever have imagined or hoped for.

I am thankful for Barb's awesome interview and the choice she is going to have to make as to WHICH job she wants to take.

I am thankful for my job and even having one to go to - but that it is interesting and the paycheck sustains me in this economy and expensive area.
 
I am thankful that my Michael's heart and back are strong and that we are ready to enjoy some fun time together away from home and work making new memories.  (We're gonna take lots of pictures!!!)

Love & Hugs all around!!!

Today I am thankful for the Gym membership my hubby and I signed up for last night.  We got a really good deal on it and I appreciate that also.

I am thankful for my children, God has blessed me with little brats, but they are MY little brats LOL.

I am thankful that I have been given the OK from my PCP to be surgically healthy to undergo the WLS.  All I have left to do is the Psych evail and the chest X-ray, then I can turn all my paperwork into the insurance lady at the surgeons office, and she can forward them to my insurance company and get me a date!!!

You all have a truly blessed day!!
