WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST

   Morning Everyone,
YEAH....another night of rain!!!  Although I don't think we got as much as monday night....I am still happy for the rain that we have gotten.    Hope everyone is having a good week so far and that life is treating you right.     This is a post to remind us all that no matter what is going on in our lives that we ALWAYS have something to be grateful for.    No matter how large or small.    PLEASE feel free to share with us one or more things that you are grateful for today.    Today I am grateful for.....Second chances.    Second chances at life as a person in a smaller body.    Although I am not as small as I would like to be.....I am SO grateful for my WL and the fact that even though I have had a gain....it is not a huge one.    Grateful for Obesity Help and all the lifelong friends that I have made due to this website.    Grateful for support groups and for Obesity Help putting enough faith in me 3 yrs. ago to allow me to be a support group leader though them.    I feel so honored for that.    Grateful for my husband of 34 yrs and for all the blessings that have come our way.   Grateful for my faith and answered prayers.    Without my faith I probably wouldn't be here. Grateful for the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La.  Sept. 9 - 10.     Feel free to share what you are grateful for today.
Have a wonderful day and remember to be grateful for the life that you have been blessed with.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

There is so much to be grateful for isn't there. Even in the darkest of times, there is always something. I remember a year ago when my husband was dying with cancer, we looked for the good and did find it, and was grateful for each moment we had. This is what sustained us through it all. Though I miss him terribly, I thank him for giving me that inspiration to continue to get healthy and be thankful for the little things.

yesterday I saw a video that really summed things up.....  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4HGQHgeFE

thanks for your post Vivian xox

 First off....I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband.   Second.....THANK YOU for sharing this video with me.   It made me cry.   Sometimes even though we THINK we have things bad.....there are people like this young man *****ALLY should be angry but yet they live life to the fullest and don't let their imperfections get in their way.    That is something that we should learn to do and not focus on the "little things that really don't matter at all".    Thanks again and I am going to share this video with others.     You have a wonderful day.
