Happy Hump Day Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for...

1.  Being able to help my in laws with the things that frustrate them in their lives and that those things come easy to me..... medical insurance, home health agencies, etc.

2.  My blood sugar was the lowest reading this morning that I have ever seen.... with NO MEDS!!!

3.  My new boss being so nice and fun to work with.

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Awesome Quote as usual!

Today I am thankful for.....

1.  Things that frustrate me as they make me grow and learn.

2.  My kids hugs and kisses and dog slobbers.

3.  My adorable husband who makes the best coffee in the world!

Thanks Barb I failed a bit yesterday at my job, but today I choose to succeed!  And I think I will.  (My boss told me I was super successful, but even though that was said I did not feel like I succeeded, but today I think I have a solution!)

Morning Barb...great reminder to take 'failure' in stride and move forward!

Today I am Thankful for:

1. my blood pressure continues to stay in the 'normal' range..Friday will be 4 weeks without BP meds!

2. my Kaiser case worker reminding me that surgery only gave me the tool...I'm the one who has done the work...I should claim the credit!  What a concept! LOL

3. all my labs came back within the 'normal' range...I haven't been this HEALTHY since high school! Yee Hawwwww!

Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Barb (again, lol, but I can never tire of talking to you!),
Its just too much of a coincedence, that I had also put up something about failure on my facebook status! So, this thought is really trying to speak to me today!  Congrats on the lowest blood sugars. Hope your day goes well.

Today I am thankful:

1. That all my labs came back in the normal range! Yipee!

2. That I can take the lessons from my failures and turn them into successes. Plus learn from them.

3. That I have such great friends on here that totally "get me" and can help me celebrate the little things that are big things to me.

I am just so happy to be alive! 

That my snoring is no longer waking me or my DH up at night.

That I am getting around so good after surgery.

That I have reduced my BP medication. 

I am so grateful for the life I have.  I have a wonderful family, and great friends here at OH and here at hom!

(I am feeling sort of mushy today!)

someone once told me (I forgot who, but it sure stuck with me) that if you aren't making mistakes you aren't doing enough to succeed.  Oh and there's another quote I heard someplace that comes to mind, something about the measure of a woman being not by her accomplishments but by how gracefully she picks herself up and dusts herself off!!! Barb!!! Who knew your quote today would wax me prolific... lol..

I am thankful today for Michael's health and praying that his doctor's appt goes well today.  He wasn't able at the last minute to travel to Disneyland with me... but I still managed to have some fun on a short trip while worrying about him at home alone. 

I am thankful that the weight keeps coming off.. reasonably, slowly but surely, that my body is doing its thing and adapting nicely, and that I am not getting sick as much anymore!!!

I am thankful for my job - though today its busy and stressful and Im tired and seemingly don't have the energy to deal... but its only 6 more hours right?.. I can do this today! 

I am thankful for my family who loves me and tells me each time I talk to them! 

Hugs and Sunshine!!!

 Good morning to the grateful and hopeful contingency!
I am grateful today for:
**A supportive family
**A visit this am with a new PCP who OMG understands and supports my need    for WLS
**A per chance phone call from a WL coach from my insurance company who will  follow with me monthly for lifestyle documentation that will be necessary for  insurance approval
***For a loving God who always manages to amaze and surprise me

Have a good day!
