THURSDAY GRATEFUL POST

   Good Morning Everyone,
It is 2:03 AM and I have NOT gone to bed yet.   I tried to but had a emergency with one of my son's I had to take care of that.   I am wide awake and that isn't a good thing for me.   As we all know this is a daily Grateful post.   I am grateful for lots of things in my life.   I thought it would be better for me to begin this really early since ( If I go to sleep....not sure when I will wake up to do this post ).    I have learned over my almost 58 yrs. that life doesn't offer us any guarantees of ANYTHING at all.   That is why we should be grateful for every little tiny good thing that comes our way.    PLEASE feel free to share with us what you are grateful for today.    Today I am grateful for my Faith and answered prayers.   Prayers are very powerful and we all could use a double or triple dose of them from time to time.    Grateful for health insurance....I think lots of us take our insurance for granted.    There are many many people in this world who struggle on a daily basis due to no health insurance.    Grateful for my home and car and my husband's job.   Grateful for the love of my family and friends and all the encouragement that they give me when I get down in the dumps from problems that arise.    Grateful for Eric Klein...who started Obesity Help and all the many staff members that work for OH that you never hear about.   Grateful for Kim who arranges all the OH Conferences and all the work that she and her family do for OH.    Grateful for the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept. 9-10.   That should be a awesome conference.   Hope you attend it.    Have a blessed day !!!

Hugs Viv. Be grateful you have all of your sons. I lost mine when he was just 17 and still think about him every day.

 Trust me....I am VERY grateful that I still have all 3 of my sons.   It is so tough though seeing what this son ( who was adopted from drug addict parents as a infant ).   He has a drug addiction he battles daily and that is why I request prayers so much for him.    I always seem to be in the middle of things trying to get him clean and keep him that way.    I am so sorry for your loss of your son.    I know that my life would be very lost without my 3 sons who are MY life.   I am sure that you have a big hole in your heart that will remain there forever.    Prayers for you my friend.    Thanks again for the hugs.    Trust me.....I need all I can get at this moment.

hugs and blessings to you too. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. My son was troubled too - lost him to suicide at 17. Yes there is a big gap in our lives without him. So wonderful of you to keep the motivational posts going. I lok forward to them to start my day.
