I’m sorry for being so absent. Work just does me in and then
on top of that life just keeps kicking my butt. I know excuses…excuses. Thanksgiving
just passed by last Thursday and I want to write about gratitude.
We had a nice Thanksgiving for the most part. I burned a
white candle and prayed for the wonderful heroes at Standing Rock. While we
were safe and warm with family and friends, these heroes were miles from home,
fighting the good fight. Many were away from family, freezing, and being injured and
mistreated by our own police. I know most of you are already familiar with the
events. It’s our water too, and it's so damn important.
Well that was heavy on my mind. I was grateful to have
people to eat with, and a turkey to cook. My youngest spent most of the
afternoon and evening on my couch, work sent her home early. I made her honey
lemon tea and forced medicine down her throat. I let her get some much needed
sleep. Well early in the evening, I learned via Facebook, that I lost another
beautiful soul. Our husbands were cousins, but we became family. Turns out
she was suffering from severe headaches.
With no warning, one of the most beautiful people I knew was
gone. I had already lost someone the Sunday prior. My point to all this is to live your life from
a grateful heart. People are so important. I’ve always heard the thought that “there
are no guarantees for tomorrow”, but lately it’s become way too real. So my
advice is to hold those you love closer. Enjoy more silly fun. Tell the people
important to you that you love them. Enjoy the small moments…
