Morning Everyone,

WOW Friday has finally arrived !!!  I know that everyone seems to be living for the weekend.    LOL   Hope everyone has lots of fun plans made.   This thread is to remind everyone that no matter how bleak that life may be for you.....there is always a sliver lining in that cloud and always something in our lives to be grateful for....no matter how large or small it may be.    PLEASE feel free to share with us what you are grateful for today.     Today I am so grateful for my Faith and answered prayer.    Without my faith.....I don't know if I could make it day to day.     I am not trying to push my religious beliefs on you either although I am a somewhat religious person.....Faith is something that you can have  and you don't have to be a religious person.     We can have Faith that when we have our WLS that we can lose all our weight and reach our goals.   Faith that we will be healthy and get off medications that are holding you back from living life to it's fullest potential.....Faith that we will live the life that we always dreamed of before our WLS........Faith in our abilities to do what we need to do in order to be successful.    Now....Go out and have a fantastic weekend.   Don't forget to stay hydrated.    See you on Monday.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I wish you the best! You will do great! Keep us posted!

Thanks ya'll! I slept on the couch because it's easier to get up from than my bed plus I hate sleeping on my back and on the couch I have no choice, I was afraid i'd roll over in bed. I only have 2 incisions, trying to decide if I could sleep on my side tonight or not. hmmm. I haven't been walking as much as I need to but today that's gonna change. gonna walk every hour on the hour. And oh goodness, I had runny grits this morning...how exciting!!! I didn't really enjoy them, and didn't want to eat them but i got them down because I know I need to take in something.

  Morning Everyone,

I can't believe it is almost the weekend already !!!   WOW.....think about it....the year is half over.   I am amazed at how quickly this year is passing us by.    Guess that is a sign I am getting old.   LOL   Oh well that is life.   This post is a post to remind us of all the many things in our life no matter how large or how small that we are grateful for.   Lots say they have nothing.....maybe you are even homeless.....but even if that is the case.....I bet you can find something to be grateful for everyday.   PLEASE feel free to share with us if you wish what you are grateful for today.     Today I am grateful for my pets.    Now....anyone that truly knows me.....knows that my pets are like my children.    I love them all unconditionally  and trust me....they love me that way too.    They are non judgmental and are spoiled rotten.    I am grateful to have the privilege of raising some that my son's got and then decided that they would take them to the city pound.    I rescued them from that fate.   I am grateful for many more things but as I sit here with 3 dogs and one cat in my lap....I decided that I am grateful for their loving me today and me loving them also.    Have a blessed day.
