happy and bummed and be thankful!

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

Okay... I made my status this morning happy and bummed and a friend gave in and asked why so I figured I might as well blog it 'eh?

I am emoticon because I am loved by many.

I am emoticon because my BF is very proud of my weight loss accomplishment and my desire to stay healthy.

I am emoticon because my scale said I was lower than my current ticker.

I am emoticon because I am wearing a really slimming size 1/2 jeans and they do not feel tight.

I am emoticon because my stomach was flat today.

I am emoticon because my BF's sister is not happy and ignored family and friends trying to get in touch with her. I do not know all the reasons, but it is unfortunate that she felt this way because she is loved, and loved by many. For reasons known to her and maybe we will find out later when we get the letter, she decided to end her life. Will be w/ family tonight to plan out the funeral. My BF and I are emoticon that she felt so miserable that she felt this was the only way to go. We are hoping that her younger cousins will be okay. We are worried about the effect of this on them the most.

I am emoticon because I heard a friend that is far away is in trouble and this worries me.

Remember to be thankful for all that you have. The good, the love. Take the bad and look for something positive in it and grow from it.

Okay.. I guess I'll stop as I'm rambling now.

    I was offline most of yesterday because of a job that started and ended in the dark of night... so I didn't see this until just now.

I am so sorry to hear about your BF's sister. How very sad and tragic. You, him and his family are in my thoughts and prayers as well as those of the others who posted before me.

Take care of him and give him extra hugs as men do not always ask for what they need.

    I know how you feel. My sister-in-law ended her life too. It was so sad because we never even knew that she was feeling so bad about life. It sure does teach you to make the most of what time you have on this earth. I'm sorry you are suffering from the loss, but just remember, time heals all. Do what you can to get through it and move on. There is a lot going on in your life right now to make you feel good about yourself. Keep up the good work!

    How sad. No one can ever know truly what is in someone's head or heart. It is a tragedy when ending a life is the best solution a person can come up with.

At least know you tried.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

    emoticon I will keep you and your BF and family in my thoughts and prayers. My little brother ended his life at a very young age for reasoning we may never understand. But with his passing it did wake up a lot of people (including me) to make sure we tell the people in our lives (like you) how much they mean to us. Take care and know we are here for you. emoticon

    I am so sorry for your loss!! Taking one's own life is so tragic, they never know what it does to those who are left behind... You are in my thoughts and prayers.

AND congrats on the good things. You should be proud and I am so grateful to hear you have a wonderful BF who is proud of you also. :-)

    So emoticon for your loss - what a tragedy. You are right - we all have a tendency to take things, and people, for granted, and we should take more time to be thankful and loving. Hang in there friend - we are here for you! (And emoticon on all your happy things, too).
