Gratefulness ~

No pictures this time, no family updates, no particular reason to post anything.... There are so many instances in our daily surroundings and lives that are so sad. I have a friend at work whose son has been re-diagnosed with Leukemia of the Central Nervous System. There was news of a gal Tami and I went to school with whose son was diagnosed with an inoperoable brain tumor. Both of these young boys are only 10 years old. I was looking at their blogs and linked to another family that a BEHS Memorial Basketball game was helping. This young 2 1/2 year boy had an accident and had a brain injury and will have years of 24 hour care ahead of him. OK....this is all a little depressing......my point is.....I am very grateful for my family and their health. This is not to say our families have not been dealt their share of heartaches and trials.... but we have each other. I am deeply grateful for my children, my husband, my Mom and Dad, my sisters, my brothers, my In-Laws, my neices, my nephews, my etc... I love you all very much. We all have our health and minds. We have tremendously wonderful, good children. In comparison to the hardships and turmoil I have heard lately, I am so glad our little family bubble is simplistic. The love, support, generosity, charity, givingness everyone has is amazing. I want all who can and do read this to know I appreciate and love you all. You are my family, you are my world. I think we have the best nerd herd in the world. I don't want to take for granted our health or our time together. I hope we all savor every day. This is all a little sappy and gooshy, but I don't say it enough. I love you all..... enough said. Go give your kids, spouse a hug and kiss.
