This year, what are you most thankful for ?

This year, I am thankful to have had visits from my brother, best friend, and my parents ( three times if you count this christmas!). That's a lot considering we all live far apart from each other. I am also thankful for my friends, and their support and love over the years.

This year, I learned a lesson in that life is so short. One of my friends , Tim, passed away unexpectedly. He died from a heart attack at 33. He had severe cholesterol. He never got checked, and it runs in his family. Heartbreaking as this was for me and all of his family and friends, we were blessed to have had him in our lives, and the many gifts he gave to us all. Just by being himself. He told me that if he had a bad day at work, by the time he got home he was in a better mood. He walked home from work, so on his way he would run into people along the way. He told me that they would smile while they walked by , and he had to smile back. He told me that a genuine smile is hard to fake.

So, mamas, I am taking the time to smile to each and everyone of you today. I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving.

What can I do next?
