  Good Morning Everyone,

We are getting closer and closer to that BIg Holiday everyday.   Can't believe it is so close to Christmas and that sunday is the big day.   WOW With as crazy as my life has been this year it has been a total whirlwind and I really haven't hard much time to enjoy what of 2011 was enjoyable.    I am praying that 2012 will be a little slower so maybe I can enjoy some of it.    Today I am grateful that I am taking the holiday one day at a time.    I am so grateful for Christmas time.    This is my Favorite time of the year although this year is challenging with one of my sons being in Teen Challenge and not being home with us.   I am a little saddened by that but I am so Grateful that I will be able to go and spend a little time with him on Christmas day.   I haven't seen him in 2 weeks.   Grateful for the holiday season, for my WLS and all the different surgeries available.    Grateful for my husband. 3 sons and DIL and grandbaby in the oven.    Grateful for all the wonderful blessings that have come our way this year ( painful as some of them were....the pain was turned to joy of recovery for my son ).   Grateful for second changes we have from addictions.   Grateful that our lifestyles improve SO much with our weight loss.    Grateful for OH and the support and encouragement we ALL get on these message boards.   And grateful for my support group in Keller although it is small I have quality people who genuniely care for one another attend.   Have a blessed day and PLEASE try not to stress over the small stuff and remember when life looks bleak...we ALL have something to be grateful for afterall.....YOU are breathing.   PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and everyday.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

  Good Morning Everyone,

Can't believe that it is almost Christmas.   I am grateful for this time of year although I am not really ready.    I am grateful today for Family, Friends, my WLS and all the choices for different surgeries.    Grateful for my Faith and answered prayers.   Grateful for all the things that I can do since my WLS that I never dreamed I would ever be able to do before my surgery.    Grateful for Obesity Help and all the amazing supportive people on these message boards every day offering help to others in need.    Grateful for Support Groups and encouragement.    Grateful for the coming new year....it's going to be a GREAT ONE for my family with a new baby coming and all.   PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
