“Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."

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

Today I am thankful for...

1.  Having a nice relaxing weekend filled with things that made me happy.

2.  Feeling rested after a night of sleep so that I can bounce out of bed without being sluggish

3.  Good coffee warming my tummy this morning, cuz there is a little chill in the air.

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Good Morning, Barb!

Fantastic quote this morning! I totally live by that! I am all in not giving up your power! You and you alone are in charge of your life and your feelings. Never reliquish your power to anybody or anything! You can do anything you set your mind to. You are only limited by your imagination. And by even saying "I will try to do...", you are giving yourself the option to fail. Best thing in the world to say is, "I will do my best..." . Thats all anybody can ask of you.

Today I am thankful:

1. for a mechanic brother-in-law, that replaced our water pump for free!

2. for a wonderful weekend spent with family and friends.

3. that Heather A. and her family are doing good at this moment despite the fire.

4. for the firefighters and emergency personnel that keep us safe.

5. for this wonderful post and a chance to "talk" to my OH family every morning via the morning post too! Thank you!

Have a fantastic day!

Hugs, friendship, & support always,

Michelle T.

HI All,

Today I am thankful for;

1. Having more than I need
2. Busting through my plateau and finally losing weight again
3. Possibly having time today to exercise.

That's all

Words to live by...

Today I'm thankful that the weather is cooler for the firefighters (prayer to keep them all safe, special one for our Dougie).

And thankful for all the brave people who are out there protecting us!

Morning Barb...I sooo like this quote today.  It so pertains to us all who encountered negative talk before we had our surgery..all the ones who said we shouldn't. NEVER let anyone stop you from attaining your goals!

Today I am Thankful for:

A wonderfully cool weekend...weather was perfect for working outside.

Having the weekend free to complete the job of transferring the contents of the motorhome.

All the benefits I am enjoying from having RNY surgery and losing the weight that held me back...my energy is out of this world!!

Who's up next?

Today I am thankful for:

1.  Cooler weather, AMEN!

2.  All those brave men and women that go out and protect us all, day or night, and put their lives on the line for us.

3.  For Doug, who would work day and night if he could and still finds that time to take care of me during this time when I am most needy.

4/  For you Barb, you are always posting this great post and keeps me thinking of how good things are, instead of thinking negative thoughts.

5.  My OH friends, who have become longtime friends.  I miss not seeing them, but love talking to them.

Have a wonderful day all.
