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

Today I am thankful for...

1.  Hearing my mother-in-law laugh and tell me that she and my father-in-law are doing really well and are laughing together, and joking.  Due to his health that hasn't happened in a while but to me it shows he's on the rebound!

2. Meeting some truly nice people where I work and looking forward to getting up and going again!  LOL

3.  That today is Thursday which means I will be seeing and meeting so many wonderful friends over the weekend which begins tomorrow!

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for:

My DH getting an interview (he was getting down on himself) and it going well!

Being able to walk 2 miles to pick up Vanessa at daycare.

Having this tool (RNY) and the world it is opening up for me.

Good Morning Barb!

Glad to hear the job is going so well.  I can't wait till tomorrow!

Today I am thankful for...

1.  My messy house that my friends will forgive me for as I put in way too many hours at work.

2.  That I have a job that I love.

3.  That I can welcome freinds old and new into my home this weekend for lots of fellowship, laughter, hugs, tears, people peeing there pants and all that jazz.

Love you guys!

Rhonda!

Morning Barb

Today I am Thankful for:

1. that I only had to endure 6 viles of red stuff being taken instead of the 10 I had been forwarned about (needles actually scare me!)

2.  that the madness at work has passed...atleast for me. My 'stuff' is completed and turned over to the office manager.

3. the scales heading in the right direction...even if it is only 1lb. And that I didn't leave any bruises after beating myself up over gaining 2.

Gee, wonder if #2 and #3 have anything to do with each other? Sometimes it takes writing it down to see the connections...and for the light bulb to go on :-)

Have a great day everyone...and Barb... Friday is less than 15hours away LOL

Two things I know for certain:  The buck stops with me!!!  I choose my own destiny and can do anything I set my mind to.  I thank God every day for my Mother who taught me that.

Talk about changing thinking or right vs. wrong thinking as some of the psyche books call it.  Sometimes I hear what people say and wonder how can they think that? its so ridiculous.  But then I remember that its only really my thinking and subsequent actions that matter and I do my best to make my actions matter in the grand scheme of things and also to be respected for being honest and balanced.  Those of you who know me personally... know that you will never hear me say... I'm gonna.... I will do it before I tell anyone I am gonna. I am gonna is a huge waste of time in my book. But, I digress.....  

Today I am thankful for the most wonderful time Michael and I spent in Lake Tahoe this last weekend and how breathtaking the weather scenery and hikes were.... pictures coming next week!

I am thankful for the fact that I am constantly evolving and changing and learning and that each day brings new challenges, adventures and realizations about myself and the world around me.

I am thankful to recognize the intrinsic value or lack thereof in my friendships as I change and evolve on this WLS journey and knowing that its okay.  

I am thankful for balance in my life.. physically, emotionally, spiritually, amongst family and friends, and in my career.  The best place for me right now is in my life at this very moment if that makes any sense.. and I am so very thankful for that!

Thankful that so many people whom I adore are doing well... here on the boards (BARB!... Rhonda!... Colleen!!!) and my friend Julie who says I inspired her has lost 8lbs... and my family is doing well.. my Dad has gone from a 2x to an Lg shirt size... its awesome to see everyone doing so well.  

Love and Hugs to everyone today!!!  

Hi all,

Today I am thankful for:

1. A good doctor's appointment where all my numbers are either good or headed in the right direction

2. A lovely outdoor dinner with my husband at a cute cafe in downtown Santa Cruz. The menu has a lovely soup that was perfect for a WLS patient.

3. My crazy kitties greeting me as I came home from dinner tonight.
