MONDAY GRATEFUL POST

 Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is ready for a great week.    I know I am.   We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for each day.    Seems that is one thing that we seem to take for granted is to share out gratitude with others.    Life doesn't guarantee us anything at all.    I know I ( like many others ) seem to forget sometimes to tell others and family members that I am grateful for them being in my life.   I personally have SO VERY MUCH to be grateful for.    Here are some of the things in my life that I am grateful for today.   I am grateful first for my Faith and answered prayers.    Second I am grateful for the changes that have taken place in my middle son's life through prayers and Faith.    Grateful for second chances in my life as a thinner person....my WLS, all choices for WLS available to everyone, for my family, friends, my life and health,  my 3 adult sons and my wonderful husband of almost 35 yrs.    Grateful for every good and bad thing that happens in my life.....the bad things seem to make me grow as a person and help me to become the person that I was meant to be.   Grateful for the wonderful message boards here on OH and all the wonderful people that I have met here.   PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed week.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian 

Good morning everyone! Thank you for the post Vivian as I embark on the first day of my journey in this new life I shall have.

I am grateful for so many things, but at this very moment for the trust I have that God will be at my side helping me with my innermost fears for todays surgery.

I am grateful for all the people who love me so much...
I am grateful for my husband who has loved me unconditionally for over 30 years...
I am grateful to have given birth to 3 wonderful children, without I do not know what life would be...
I am so grateful for my special friend here on OH (she knows who she is)...
I am grateful to have had the finances to pay for this surgery...chu...ching!...
I am grateful to know I will have lots of support when I return home from surgery and in the months to come...
I am very grateful to know I have a super surgeon, and believe God will be guiding his hands today...
I am grateful for OH to have the place to come when I am awake and the world is still sleeping, allowing me to share my thougts...
I am grateful for all who have shared and continue to share their experiences here as that is so valuable to all of us embarking on the unknown...

Here's to a blessed week for everyone!

 I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers today and in the coming days.    I know that you will do fine with your surgery.    Congratulations on your journey that begins today.    We are ALL here for you if you need us.    Have a blessed day !!!
