Life is short....

Just the state of mind that I am in right now....While I was giving the getting started session to our 3 newest friends, my phone rang...twice. I thought it must have been important for someone to call me when everyone knows that I work Saturday mornings. And to do it twice, it had me worried.

Right after everyone left (it was just Kellie, Tracey and myself), I checked my vm. A message from one of the ladies that I carpool to work with telling me that passenger number 3's husband died Friday night----self-induced. How could life possibly be THAT bad. Those poor kids, and my friend, omg.

Needless to say, I wrapped myself around my family this weekend. What ever we have going on cannot be that bad that we feel we need to make everyone else's life hard. OOOHhhhh the suffering, the guilt,....

Why do we beat ourselves up with our weightloss? Is it really that much of a tragedy if we gain a pound this week? We are here to gain it....isn't that great?!!!! Should we really make the rest of our day suck, because we are up on the scale? Life is ours today. We breathe. We share love. Aren't we lucky?!!!!

How much luckier are we than those without the friends we have made in Weight Watchers? I cannot count. THAT's how lucky I am today. I wore my goals shirt last Saturday, because I lost focus. Today I am focused. Today I am grateful that I can be focused. Today I have me. And you.
You are lucky. You have you. We have each other.

Stay focused. Be grateful for something. Tell someone you are grateful for them. Make their day.
