Good Morning Buddies and Happy Thanksgiving Eve!! I feel much better today ... the funk has passed. Thank you all for your tolerance of my funkiness and encouraging me!! So much appreciated!! Of course it also helped that the scale was down this morning. LOL!!

Today is a busy day for me at work. The rest of my family will be getting off of work early ... but not me )~: Fortunately we have a small crowd (only 4 of us) for dinner tomorrow and I don't have any time requirements for serving dinner ... no worries ... it will all be wonderful!!! Work, last minute groceries including picking up my FRESH not FROZEN turkey, and then family time. YES.

My five for today ...

1. funky feelings pass and another day of opportunities presents itself
2. my fat secret buddies ... unbelievable how helpful they are in this journey
3. knowing what I wanted to wear today BEFORE I even got out of bed!!
4. my doberman's head resting on my lap
5. the face of a toddler lighting up when they see me and saying my name!!

Have a wonderful day of preparations for tomorrow. I am so thankful for this site and each of you. I've said it before and I will say it again .... having this "family" of fellow travelers ... others who have walked at least a mile in my shoes has made a HUGE difference in my journey this time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, struggles, dreams, frustrations, and successes here. For sharing a part of you that I know from personal experience isn't so easy to share. You've risked much and I have benefited greatly!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Your journal brings tears to my eyes. I got discouraged and tired and stopped posting for a while. This is indeed an amazing site and I am glad I returned. I am so glad your funk is over. And I love your 5 today. Keep up the good work, you are doing so good. :-)

Awww- We love you too!!!! And don't worry about the working thing - I'll most likely be working LATE tonight. Then I have to go to the foodstore to pick up some stuff, and then home. Oh, and good thing your "funk" is gone - you don't want to be cooking a turkey with "da funk"!!!!

Your number Three (3) is cute. So you do not lay Thursday's clothes out on Wednesday night? And you would not think LESS of me if I tell you that I do - lay Thursday's clothes out on Wednesday night -- that is! It is one of those control things. Oh well. I will have to turn the pages of your journal BACK to read about the "funky music" your soul has been singing - huh. At any rate - I am glad you have snapped out of it -- if that is the case. Sometimes we have to roll with our blue moods and not fight them - you know?

Happy Thanksgiving! Your journal entries are a joy to read, even when you're in a funk (which I'm glad you got rid of!). Thank you so much for all your support and all the warmth that radiates from your words.
