Well I am definitely thankful. Overweight or not, I am thankful to be
alive. I don't quite know why it affected me this way, but it did.......so I will share. Yesterday on the way home from work, a rescue truck passed me with it's lights on traveling pretty fast. Then, an ambulance came screaming past along with another rescue truck. It just kinda gave me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach....you know?
I guess it's because I know someone is in serious peril. I try my best not to think of it in these terms, but I do. I'm such a tragic. I just keep thinking to myself that this person got up this morning.....went about their day, perhaps going to work, doing some final Christmas shopping, running errands, taking children to school.........
just normal things. And little did they know that by 3:52pm, they would be in an accident that was either life threatening or ended their live. Life is so fragile. I try everyday to not say anything that I can't take back. I try to live my life treating people the way I would want to be treated........but still these things get to me.
I hope the person that all the emergency vehicles were going to yesterday are alright.
Ok, enough doom and gloom, I just kinda needed to get that out.
2cute: Thanks for reminding us to be thankful. Everyday. You sound like your really doing well. Let's hope we both keep the strength we have found in check.
Here's you a {{hug}} for today.
Lucky: Glad your heat is fixed now sweetie. I kinda thought that picture would warm up your bones.
Very nice, if I do say so myself. Keep up the good work with the exercise. I promise you.......if I can get this big butt into gear, I am going to make you some copies of some of my video tapes and send them your way! Here's a {{hug}} for today.
Sara: I'm glad that you feel supported, but never doubt that you are a true form of inspiration for us! You support us as well so it is a two way street. I can't wait to meet my 100 goal either. It will be such a milestone. Here's a {{hug}} for today.
Susie: I can't even tell you how good it was to see you on the thread when I came in this morning.
We have really missed you. Thanks so much for posting the recipe for the magic soup.....I know what I'll be making this weekend! The picture of your family that you attached is great. Thanks so much for sharing. Please come back more often. Here is a {{hug}} for today.
J-ann: Girl....you go right ahead and watch me closely! And I'll be watching you too. We can do this together! Here's a {{hug}} for today.
Michelle: Good to see you sweetie. Sounds like your really busy lately, just like all of us. How did the collection go with that girl yesterday? Dish girl! Hope you don't need a shovel to get out of your house this morning! If I was closer, I'd lend a helping hand.
Here's a {{hug}} for today.
Forgiven: Good to see you this morning. Stop by more and get to know us all. We don't bite. Well........
unless your fried, or covered in chocolate.
Just a joke. Don't everyone hit me all at once! Let me rephrase: We don't bite unless your a fresh vegetable, lean meat or low fat. Better girls?
Well girls, I'm outa here. Time for co-worker to grab the computer. See you lovelies later.
