Today I thought that I would include the definition of Grateful in this post..........    warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received; thankful:

Today as I think about ALL the things in my life that I am grateful for today....I think about you.   All the wonderful people *****ad this post whether you reply or not.    I am always so touched by the responses I receive and yes....I do read them all.    I don't always respond but they are read.   I am SO grateful for everyone one of you on OH and all the wonderful message boards here.    I am also grateful that 7 yrs. ago when i went to my bariatric surgeon's seminar he told us about Obesity Help.    My life will never be the same due to OH and my WLS.    Kindness is something that I try to show toward others always.   I am so grateful for the life that I have been blessed with and all the trials that I have had to go through...because I know in the long run it will make me a much stronger woman.    WE ALL have something in our lives to be grateful for.  Today I am grateful for second chances.    It is a total blessing to have a second chance....not only with our WL but in all other areas of our lives.    I for one am very blessed and grateful for things that are happening in my life and my family members lives right now.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.    Have a blessed day !!!

  I will start today off by saying that I personally have so very much in my life to be grateful for.    Today I am grateful for the decision that my 25 yr. old son has made for his life.   Lets just say that in the past he hasn't made good decisions at all....in fact he has just bombed on them.    But today his life is taking a about face and going the other direction.    Thank God for that.   Please if you believe in prayer...keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he beings a year long journey on changing his life.    Thank you for doing this for me and him.    We ALL have so much to be grateful for in our lives....no matter how large or how small they may be.   Waking up today and seeing whatever we saw when we opened our eyes is something to be grateful for....after all...there are people in this world who will never see anything.    PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.    Today I am grateful for my family.....I have a beautiful precious daughter in law and 3 wonderful sons and a husband who I love with all my heart.   I am truly blessed.   I am grateful for the journey that my middle son is embarking on today.   I am grateful for my WLS and all the choices of WLS,  Grateful for support groups, grateful for my arms and legs and my mind ( even though my memory is not great ).   Grateful for another day to live life and make better choices than yesterday.    Grateful for the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept 9 - 10.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.
