Thanksgiving in February

Posted on February 17, 2015

I am a Canadian now living in the USA. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving about 3 weeks earlier than in the USA. So if neighboring countries can celebrate differently, why limit ourselves to being Thankful to a single day? Hell - why not February?!?

I was feeling thankful today. Yes, I won at my first dietbet today and things are looking good for a second dietbet win on Saturday too. I get paid an annual bonus on Friday...I find out the exact amount tomorrow, but it's never been disappointing and it helps a lot. I can buy the food and things I need for myself and my family, and still have enough left over for some saving and playing. I have my health, which may be the most important thing of all. I even got a few nice messages on dietbet today that made me feel really good, even if it's from virtual friends (or even strangers)! Thank you guys!

Yes, I have immense challenges around me, but I am thankful for everything I have.

why not EVERY day? there are really so many things to be thankful for and the first and foremost is your health... its the biggest blessing of all. I read a post today that put it all in perspective - Dieting isn't hard. Losing weight isn't hard. Heart problems and diabetes are hard... I started a new dietbet yesterday and signed up for another that starts in a couple of days. I really think I will try to stagger them to have one going every couple of weeks - that way there won't be the flurry of activity at the end - it will be a constant! LOL... I was glad to meet you and other new friends also going along this journey - I hope we can keep in touch and continue to support each other. Support and a little friendly competition along with a challenge goes a long long way....
