I’m thankful for you Coozan, you have been very helpful to us navigating the rough waters.

You're welcome Coozann Tan . Y'all did a pretty good job yourselves . I just traversed those rough waters ahead of y'all...so I knew where the rapids were!

I am really sad to see y'all having to relive that HORRIBLE day . But you turned TOWARD your lovely wife when she needed you...what a BLESSING that was for BOTH of you . She was able to see what LOVE really was...and that Cuz...was ALL YOU .

I’m 6’1" My high was 245 and my goal is 195. I made goal but currently sit at 203. Im much better at fitness than nutrition, as is the case with most people.

Sorry for the t/j

Can't outrun the fork.

I also apologize for the t/j despite continuing it.

Where everyplace else...people eat to live...in Cajun Country...we live to eat !!! So keep on with the nutrition stuff...I may learn something!!

Grieving...ENJOY that much needed REST !!

So keep on with the nutrition stuff...I may learn something!!

No nutrition is always the struggle. I can work out like a machine, but I have weaknesses in nutrition 🤣

Happy "Thankful Thursday" to everyone !!

I woke up this morning to very gloomy weather. I can remember when there was a time that this weather would cause me to just stay in bed...feeling just as gloomy as the weather. Actually...even on some sunny days it felt like a cloud was over me...making me want to just be swallowed up in the covers and not come out into the world until the cloud was gone. It was NOT a good feeling at all .

But TODAY...my heart is HAPPY . Life isn't perfect...but that cloud...that depression that robbed me of any type of peace...is gone. I can remember it...but Thank God I am not FEELING it anymore. I am so THANKFUL for PEACE . I pray that one day ALL of us can have that .

I’m thankful for some answered prayers today. I have spent a couple years in personal limbo, not not really growing my business just maintaining it. Partly due to Covid but the other part was just survival mode.

We own a business that is essential and fairly recession proof, I’m so thankful. I’m ready to start working towards retirement, we are moving forward with franchising this business so I can transition out of the day to day.

I’ve reached a point I trust my W to be by my side in this new chapter.

Continuing on last week's theme and threadjack, I'm thankful for pickles. They are a low calorie salty crunchy thing.

It was a really hard morning—woke up to a dream that my husband was cheating on me again.

He’s traveling for work for the first time since Covid began. Two years ago this same trip kicked off his affair with a coworker who went with him. I don’t think he gets how painful and scary it is for me to repeat this travel scenario. (He’s solo this time; it’s a different destination but same general work thing).

So, the morning was super rough. Due to a combination of snow/ice/Covid, though, my district called a virtual day. So I was able to work hard from home and hide behind a screen rather than put on a brave face and face 150 super needy students in person. I am so grateful for that. And rather than moping when the work day was done, I went out and shoveled a ton of snow in the bright sunshine, which helped my mood. Followed by a treadmill run and a core workout. I’m going to play a board game with my kids now.

So today I’m thankful for sunshine, snow hard work, good luck, fun with my kids, and my own resilience.

This0is0fine I love pickles, great snack.

Grieving it seems virtual days come right when you need it. You handled that trigger like a boss.

Thank you, Tanner.

And I am grateful for pickles too! They’re a great snack.

Ahhhh...Thursday...another day to write about being THANKFUL !! I saw the posts last week about pickles...and it brought up something a little along those lines .

We have a new reclining sofa . Not just any sofa...this one is electrified !! The footrest comes up with the touch of a button...GENIUS!! No more pushing the footrest down with your legs either...touch another button and it glides down effortlessly. It's MAGIC !!!

Yes...I am thankful that we have a new sofa...but wait...there's MORE . This sofa...we have found...can be put in all kinds of varying positions. Which means our bodies can be put in all kinds of varying positions . This means...well...we have NEW positions that we can be in for...um...extracurricular activities !!! I do LOVE being an empty nester...just saying !!!

So today...I am very THANKFUL for a new sofa...new positions...and being empty nesters...a trifecta of thankfulness !!!

Today is my birthday, and my husband sent me flowers at work and made me dinner and a cake. I don’t think he’s ever made a cake in his life. I’m grateful for how hard he’s trying.

I’ve been MIA for a week, I can’t seem to get a minute to post, but Thankful Thursday is a must.

First I’m thankful for great post Grieving I’m pulling for you and your H!!!

W2BHAI assume the new recliner is what true R looks like 🤣😮

I’m thankful for emerging from the POLF I’ve been in. I have emerged more healed but couldn’t understand what was happening. I was nit picking my W because it was hard to let the walls start coming down. I’ll save it for a post I’m working on.

I have a confession to make, I’ve been a bad H. I’ve been accused of not watching the 30 Tic Toc videos that were sent through out the day.

Happy Birthday Grieving !!! I LOVE what your husband did for you on your birthday!! What an awesome GIFT by making a cake all by himself...very cool !!

Tanner...since no one took the bait...our extracurricular activities consist of us "racing" with our foot rests !!! My H turned the sofa over to see if he could give the actuator more POWER...he reminded me of Tim "the toolman" Taylor !!

I am looking forward to reading your post about what you went through Coozann . TikTok can be quite addicting from what I have heard. I hope you don't get that way after looking at ALL those videos!!!

Ahhhhh...Thankful Thursday !! My week didn't start off very well. I had a meltdown and reverted back to spewing poison at my H. HE didn't take that well and spewed some poison of his own. NOT a nice thing at all for us to do to each other . It's funny how stress can put my head in a not so good space. BUT...instead of letting it stew in our heads and become even more toxic...we talked things out .

Things have gotten progressively BETTER as this week has gone on. The stress is still there...but we are hoping that those circumstances are going to change soon. However...despite the circumstances we are facing right now...we can CHOOSE to be HAPPY . The BEST way to do that...is to be THANKFUL . See what I did there ??!! So HAPPY THANKFUL THURSDAY everyone !!

BTW...I bought pickles yesterday...and had a delicious snack last night . I had forgotten just how crunchy they are...thanks for the pickle talk !!!

Yes Cuz we buy pickles every week. One of the twins can’t get enough.

I’m thankful for a couple snow days. We are all home and having a good time with neighbors around the fire pit. I don’t drink beer during the week but today is an exception. I’ve had a few 🤣

Sounds like a pretty good time Tanner !! I hope everyone stays safe with this crazy weather!!!
