 Good Morning Everyone,

I am grateful today to be home.   I have been in Las Vegas since monday and all the craziness of that town.   It was a pleasant surprise though to come home to cooler weather.  Today I am grateful for a good trip and making it home safely.    Grateful for my family, friends, WLS, all the choices for different WLS.    Grateful for the 4 seasons, support groups,  second chances at a better more healthier life than before WLS.    Grateful for everything in my life today.    PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

I am grateful to simply be alive and for the new lease on life that my WLS has given me! I am grateful for my health and for the fact that I can run my daily run.

I am grateful for all the excellent support and relationships I have in my life, for my husband, for my family and friends. I am grateful for the beautiful place I live in. I am grateful to have work that I love doing.

Gratitude is an attitude. Someone once told me that when you can't think of what to be grateful for, be grateful for what you don't have that you don't want.

Hugs and blessings back at you!

 Thank you so much.  BUT trust me....I have negative days also.   I think we all do but we just have to remember how much better off we are since our WLS and how very far we have come in our life journey.     Congrats on the new house and marriage.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 On Tuesday  ( which im nervous about because its under Mars ,  strife and discontent ...)  we're closing  on  our beloved marital home .   SINCE WLS...  I got Married   to a loving Hubs .... who promised me and OBTAINED  for  me an amazingly  beautiful HOME  ....  I am SO  Grateful .

Life is SOO  rich and full of love and possibilities ... 

yet  I am Nervous .

 i KNOW i am emotionally immature .   there are Soo  many people ( and innocent loving animals)   DEPENDING  on me  for their happiness and their well - being .   I am worried about our financial security  as a family .  

I love my Husband,  my father in Law , my ( male neutered ) Cat  and ( male neutered horse ) so MUCH  yet they  all require so much ATTENTION .  CAN I PROPERLY   step up  ?!!!

No    life is not EASY after WLS  ..its simply a DIFFERENT SET  OF PROBLEMS ....  
   
still im so Gladto have THESE   problems rather than THOSE   chronic  hopeless and infinitely DEPRESSING  ones Before lol ....,
