Good Morning

Good Morning and happy hump day! I don't know if any of you guys make it over to the main board so if you don't, Randall Culpepper posts a morning coffee talk and always has great support. His post this morning hit home w/ me and I wanted to share it with you.. "Our challenge today is to "chalk it up". Everything you have faced in your life has been for an experience and for a reason. Everything or anything you face is not by chance. I think the things, even WLS, that we go through, do, or face are ALL for reasons. What reason are you "chalking it up" for? Make it positive! Everything I have been through in my life (on my profile), 2 house fires, death of Joie, heart surgery, coma, major car accident, I "chalk it up" as it made/makes me stronger and makes my faith UNMOVABLE! I will not be shaken! Chalk it up today and know that you are stronger in everything you face, endure, and come through!" I only copied a portion of his thread so if you want to read the entire thing, click on this to get more of Randall talk...... http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/a,messageboard/action,replies/board_id,4856/cat_id, 4456/topic_id,3289063/ I know that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes when you're going thru the stressers of life we don't understand why things happen the way they do but there is a reason and it does make you a stronger person. Keep your chin up and look for the postive in the situations you are facing today. Have a great Wednesday! Christina

I will take a swing through the post a little later on. I am out for my bike ride here in a few minutes. want to get out before i say forget about it and camp out in the easy chair. CB
