~~Daily Thanksgivings~~

 

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

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

Today I am thankful for...

1.  Reconnecting with my youngest daughter through Facebook.  We have a loooonnnnggg way to go, but baby steps, prayers and patience will lead to success. (Huh that sounds familiar doesn't it?)

2.  A fantastic Nor Cal Losers get together yesterday.  Thank you Rachel for a fantastic day with friends. 

3.  For my best friend and love, my husband who is my rock.

Ok, your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am grateful for the weekend!!  I'm able to spend time with my husband (whom I miss greatly during the week) and spend some time w/my daughter and her husband.  I'm able to get into the kitchen and cook some good food (poached salmon via BBQ and some grilled garden fresh zuccini and sweet potatoes). 

I am also thankful to God for answered prayers - the URL sold and we will be able to take a 'vacation'!!  In the planning stages now

Another great quote Barb! The other day I was thinking about how much food I was eating for so many years to get to 230 lbs, but you know it was a waste of time to dwell on it because it is what happened and today is a new day.

So today I am thankful for. . .

This WLS, it is amazing and has gotten me in control of what I eat instead of food being in control of me.

A wonderful day yesterday. I went to a luncheon with my friend and we took my son and his family out to dinner last night. Today is my DIL's birthday and we celebrated last night.

The time I had with my family yesterday. We had so much fun.

Barb, I will be praying for your relationship with your daughter.

 

Thanks Elizabeth, I so appreciate the prayers.

You're in mine too.

Hugs,
Barb

Hi all,

Barb, good luck with reconnecting with your daughter. I am excited for you.

Today I am thankful for

1. Another sunny day in Santa Cruz. Sitting in my back yard and reading the paper was wonderful
2. My husband who is super supportive
3. My mom for caring a lot about me and getting so many things in order before she passed away
4. Finding a person willing to house sit my mom's house as we go through the long task of preparing the house to rent
