~~Daily Thanksgivings~~

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

Todauy I am thankful for...

1.  My father-in-law who just keeps improving with each passing day.

2.  My wonderful husband who keeps me grounded with humor.

3.  That I am working again and enjoy what I am doing.  Now if I'd just give myself a chance!  LOL

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Oooooooo Good one again!

Today I am thankful.

1.  Friends that are forgiving when you screw dates up (Beckyboo thank you)

2.  Friends that can laugh at eachother because they know you are brain dead some of the times yet they still love you!

3.   My amazing kids!  I am so blessed to have children that are honorable and respectful.  I can't even begin to tell you how amazing these kids really are!  I know I am partial, but THey are really amazing!  Thank You Jesus for blessing me for a while with these awesome kids.

Ok that is this moment.

bigg huggs, Becky

I have to agree with Rhonda, I am so blessed with amazing kids, and a wonderful, wonderful daughter-in-law.  Not to mention the most incredible grandkids on planet earth.  (What were you saying about partial)

These days I just feel so grateful for my life in general.  I feel like I am in the best part of my life. 

Is there anything left to be thankful for, lets just say I am thankful for everything.

As you can tell I am still feeling mushy!  (Is this normal?)

Morning Elizabeth!  YES!! it is perfectly normal!!  They don't call this a wild ride for nothing LOL  Just chock it up to female harmones...fat cells retain estrogen...and losing the fat=releasing the estrogen=messing up the emotions LOL  As they say, this too will pass....and then come back again later as you continue to lose.  For me this is the real test...when my emotions are running a muck, wanting to turn to food to 'settle' them down. Learning new coping mechanisms isn't always easy but so rewarding when I accomplish changine even 1 old behaviour.  Hang in there! You are doing great!

Thank you Nancy.  I am a person who has always tried very hard to keep my emotions under control.  So you can see this is new for me!  I think it is good I am easing up some!

Morning Barb...great quote...when I recognize a 'lesson' coming at me, I just pray I don't miss the Message! LOL

Today I am Thankful for:

Having a job I enjoy.

Friends and acquaintances who feel I have something worthy and helpful to pass on during this journey we share.

My husband who 10% of the time drives me nuts but loves and supports me 100% all of the time &_^

We all are so blessed...no matter what our state of being is currently...remember..it COULD be worse!
{{{Hugs}}} to all!

So many lessons to learn!.. and Nancy.. I too pray that I recognize them and also that I stop and pause long enough to let them sink in!!!  What a journey this is... I don't think you really grasp it until you are going through it and WOW WOW WOW!  speaking of WOW.. i had a few WOW moments this last weekend ... no seatbelt extender and actually comfortable on the flights to and from Orange County!  Rode an upside down roller-coaster and realized that not only was my weight keeping me off but getting sick was a factor... I won't be doing that again anytime soon.. but I DID IT ONCE!!!   ....  And I hiked all over Lake Tahoe and then the next weekend must have walked 10 miles at least all over Disneyland.. and while I was a little tired... I was none the worse for wear - had that been last summer I would have dropped dead or had to call in sick to recuperate...  I also came home and bought my first pair of sz. 18 pants.  I had nothing to wear to work.. and hit up Ross -  a good thing sure... but strange and WOW and YAY and HOORAY and WHAT THE HECK? and everything in between! 

I am thankful for all of that, and also that I post all the time and you've all been so kind as to not call me a dork!

Love and Hugs to All!!!

Dear Barb,

Today I am very grateful for this posting because I needed it to give myself a kick in the you-know-where and stop the pity party I was having today.  Great quote!!
