Good Tuesday Everyone,
The holiday is coming up quickly now. 2 more days till Thanksgiving Day. As this holiday quickly approaches please remember that this time of the year is not always joyful for everyone. Their are LOTS of hurting people around the holiday season who this time of year is very painful for them. So PLEASE try to be kind to everyone at this time. Today I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life. I have a son who from now till Christmas every year is in pain due to 6 yrs ago a friend of his commited suicide and then he had another 3 yrs ago overdose on drugs. I have already seen lots of people withdrawing from Facebook and other websites due to hurting in their hearts and their lives. The Thanksgiving/ Christmas holidays are MY favorites and it hurts me so much to see my son and many others hurting this time of year. I am grateful today to be able to see this in these dear sweet people and reach out and be there for them at this painful time in their lives. Grateful to God that I personally don't feel that way at this time of the year that we should grateful for everyone and everything in our lives but instead we want to withdrawl from society and from family. Please if you believe in prayer....say a prayer for these people and try to reach out and be a friend to them when you see that they are hurting. Sorry for this but I feel that this is something that needed to be said today and we ALL should be grateful if we haven't experienced it. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!!

True learning is not about facts,
but about conscious appreciation of the experience of living.
Let each day be a time to learn new appreciation for life.
To learn more about ourselves and the nature of life.
To learn what brings happiness to ourselves and to those around us.

Good morning. I'm off to work with patients today and tomorrow, then off for 4 days. It sure is cold outside and looks like it will be even colder the next few days. It is still raining here. Hopefully the rain will go away by noon or so. Of course, that is what I thought yesterday and it never stopped for long. Hope everyone has a good day.

Fortunately no snow or ice today but it is a wee *****illy and the wind ain't helping.
With court last week I managed to miss a Dr. appointment. I get to take care of that today after work. Thinking about getting on the contraption again when I get home. Not that I'm masochistic, okay maybe a little 
, but thinking is Thanksgiving is day after tomorrow and an extra work out before won't hurt!
Go forth but take a warm coat with you!
So thankful that "old man winter" didn't let the temp drop below 33 last night. I had already called boss yesterday evening to tell him if it was icy this morning, I would be sleeping
in! But was able to get to work on time. Weekend as great -- Stay in both Saturday & Sunday. Had a few business calls this morning. Hoping it will pick up this afternoon. Hope everyone can stay warm today.

Good Monday Everyone,
Hope everyone is getting ready for the upcoming holiday on thursday. Today I am so grateful for this time of year...although it sometimes causes issues since the holiday's seem to be focused on food. We need to focus on family gatherings and not so much the meal itself. Grateful for all the "tools" that we are given to help us to overcome overeating at this time of year. Today I am grateful for my health, family and friends. Grateful for my WLS and all the choices of surgeries who give us a "second chance" in life and for better health. Grateful for OH and all the good advice and encouragement given here on the message boards. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed and safe day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

That was my "fur child's" take on things this morning. She went outside but she did not waste any time getting her business done!
Work and trying to stay warm and dry are on the top of the agenda but not necessarily in that order. Fingers crossed I get my new truck this week! 
Go forth, stay dry, stay warm and if you have to drive in this crap watch out for the other person.
