FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Morning Everyone,

I have WAY too much to be grateful for today.   LOL   Life doesn't guarantee us anything at all.   We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for.   If you are reading this and say I have nothing at all to be grateful for.   Life is bad for me.....just think....yes you do have something to be grateful for....you have EYES and you are reading this.....and a brain.   That is something that you can be grateful for.    Also you have a computer or the use of one.    That is another thing for you to be grateful for.     Ok enough of my preaching to you about not having anything to be grateful for.  LOL   I am SO grateful today for all the good things happening in my life right now.     I have been blessed beyond measures with where my family is right now.    My 25 yr old son is in a recovery program for drug addiction and he is totally a different person today after just 2 weeks there......I have a home and all that I need and that is enough.   I have a family that loves me and supports me in what I do.    I am well and happy almost 6 yrs. after my WLS with no major issues.    I am grateful for my life, church,. my Faith and answered prayers.   Grateful for all my wonderful fur babies ( we are way out numbered in my house LOL ).   Grateful for the internet and my computer although it is old.    Grateful for all that life throws my way and knowing that I CAN handle just about anything that comes my way.   Grateful that I am a strong woman and that I have a tender and caring heart.   Grateful for OH and that I am going to the OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept 9-10 ( in 2 weeks ).   Still time for you to get your ticket and go.   Hope to meet you there.    PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed weekend !!!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I to am very greatful and blessed on this Friday morning. I am 8 days post-op and feeling like a new woman since the day I had the operation. Had surgery on Thursday the 18th, had my 40th birthday on Friday the 19th, came home on Saturday the 20th, went to Sunday school, church morning and evening service on Sunday the 21st, Started nursing school on Monday the 22nd, did 4 laps around the track on Tuesday the 23rd, Drove on Wed the 24, went to first support group on Thur the 25, and here we are today, happy as can be, able to clean my house and dance around the the music while I'm doing it. I know my excellent recovery comes from all of my friends and family that have kept me lifted in thier prayers. I am so thankful for so many things in my life. I have a husband of almost 21 years who has loved me at every weight I have ever been like he did when we met in high school. I have two wonderful sons, one which just started college and the other a sophmore in high school, both are fine young men with good heads on their shoulders. I have a wonderful church family and military family who love me and fill in the gaps since I am ten hours away from home. I am so greatful for a family back home who continues to be close, loving and supportive of me even though I rarely get to see them. I could go on and on, but the thing I am most greatful for above anything else is that Jesus died on the cross for my salvation, if I had nothing else to be thankful for, that would be enough! Thank you for posting such a wonderful and uplifting post!
