Grateful for This Life

Today I am thankful to be able to honor the fragility of life. Because of that humbling awareness, I am grateful for every single person and moment in my life –  from the patch of sun across our living room floor that welcomes each morning to the sight of my adored husband and dog cuddled and snoring together on the couch.

I am grateful for this life, today and every day that I get to live it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. My wishes for a day of warmth, laughs, and the recognition of miracles all around us. Thank you for helping me to realize the power of the human spirit. This blog and its readers are such a gift to me. Please continue to direct that spirit to Craig's mother as she endures a most difficult time and hope for peace for her.

    God bless you, Karen. I know what you wrote was truly sincere despite the fear and self pity that you keep pushing against. God bless you, Karen. And thank you for this. You are in my prayers.

    Karin--I have told my husband about you and your struggles and I just read someone else's post about your m-i-l. My husband says I need to take a piece of your positive spirit with me. And I will give you in return some of my kick ass stubbornness and NYC bitchiness and between the 2 of us we will both be stronger! Keep on posting when you can.

    I think of you often. I'm concerned, as you have not posted anything lately. I imagine you are directing all of your energy and focus to the fight. You are in my prayers.
