FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Friday Morning Everyone,

I have NO idea WHY I am up so early this AM.   I didn't sleep very well last night.   Kept waking up in pain from sleeping on the side I feel on a week and a half ago.    Oh well...that is life.  LOL   We ALL have SO very much in our lives to be grateful for.     I am SO grateful that today has finally arrived.    Today is the day that we find out the sex of our first grandbaby.    We have waited a very long time to be grandparents.   My DIL has a doctor appointment at 4 today so I am praying PINK.   LOL  I have 3 sons and it would be nice to have a granddaughter but if it is a little boy I am OK with that too.   Love little boys also.    SO for today I am grateful that we will learn what our grandbaby's sex it.    PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for and have a blessed and safe weekend.

Sorry you didn't sleep well. Hope you heal up soon.  I am thankful that my entire family supports my decision for gastric bypass.  There is always food I can eat when I go to their houses (from the get go).  They do eat stuff in front of me but that's okay.  This is my new lifestyle, not theirs.  I am grateful I have a daughter living.  My two sons are dead - 1 murdered at a gas station, the other septic from appendicitis (took him 6 mos. to die.  He was in so much pain.)  I dote on my two granddaughters.  They are wonderful!   Hope it shows PINK!! 

 I'm so sorry you lost your 2 sons.   I can't imagine the pain of losing a child although I thought that we would loose our middle son to drugs but thank GOD he has been drug free now for 8 months and will graduate Teen Challenge August 1st.    Thank you about the "pink",   It will be OK if it is blue but it would be nice to have a little girl in the family.    But boys are precious too.     Have a blessed weekend.

Good Friday morning everyone! Today I am thankful that I find out if I am approved for my surgery. It's been a long month waiting for a decision. I am also thankful for my loving supportive husband. Without him as my rock, I'm not sure I would have ever followed through with this.

I am also thankful for my 3 daughters today. Each one is so very precious and I couldn't imagine my life without them.  I'm thankful for my supportive parents, friends and other family.

And last but not least, I am thankful for you guys on here. You have all been very nice and helpful and I can't wait to share the next chapter of my journey with you guys when I finally make it to the losers side of the bench... 

How exciting! Good luck!

Some seasonal gratitudes-- I am thankful for fresh fruit, air conditioning, and long sunny days.

I'm grateful for the health of my family, children, and myself.

I'm grateful I was able to turn this bus around. I was looking at older pictures of myself and appalled at how fat I let myself get. I'm really thankful I was able to get bypass and take control of my life.
