TUESDAY GRATEFUL POST

Hope everyone is having a great week.   Mine isn't so well..we lost one of our cats yesterday.    She was  hit by a car.    She disappeared from my home last friday ( I live off a 7 lane road ).  It was a sad day in my home.    We assume she went out our doggie door with one of the dogs.    I know she is in Kitty heaven today.   Enough of that.....We ALL have so much to be grateful for everyday in our lives.  Even the smallest little thing that people take for granted such as someone letting you ahead of them in line and the Walmart or someone smiling at you.   Sometimes we also have to just make ourselves be  grateful for things because life seems so bad at the moment.   But there is always something....we are so blessed and half the time don't even realize it.    Today I am grateful for all my furbabies.   Trust me...they are like my children !!!   They are spoiled rotten.   Grateful for my WLS and all the choices for WLS today.   Grateful for my life, health, husband and 3 sons.   Grateful for my support group and second chances that have been given to us through WLS.    Grateful for all the blessings in my life and all the bad things that happen too because I know that there are lessons to be learned from them all.   Grateful for you on OH and grateful for OH and all the OH Events ( there is one in NY coming up quickly ).    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.
Have a blessed day !!!

Just what I needed this morning! 
A gratitude thought!  I have been in a pity pot for quite a while now, focusing on past wrongs, resentments and regrets.  I didn't get much sleep last night thinking about this very thing.

 Lori....we ALL have things in our past that we resent, wish we could have done differently, things we did wrong....etc.   PLEASE don't focus on the negative in your life.    We all have that "junk".    We have to just take things one day at a time and try to make the best decisions that we can for THAT moment.    Hope you can take a nap today and rest.    PLEASE don't beat yourself up for things that you wish you had done differently in the past.    We all have one type of regreats or another.    Just focus on today and the choices to be made presently.   The past is just that....the PAST....now focus on the future and what a bright one we ALL have as thinner, healthier people,    Have a blessed day !!!

Yes I too have a great deal to be great full for.  Everyday before my children and I start the day we begain with thanks and prayer.  I constantly remind my children how grateful we should be for the simple;e things in life and for us always realize if the day goes by with one bumps just be grateful that GOD is their to pick us up and make things get better.  And yes we all have things in our lives in which we could have done better or should have made a different decision on but you know we are human and will make mistakes.  Just the other day I said to myself why do I have to make wrong decisions?  Why can't I go through my life and make all right decisions for at least 6 months?  But then I said to myself that's not logical.  How silly!
