Grateful for Life

Hi all.

Just wanted to express the feelings that I am having. I am so thankful for my life. I work across from a soup kitchen. I have looked over so many times and have felt a little guilty for all I have. Yesterday when I looked over, while eating my lunch, a bunch of police cars came screaming up. There were 4 police cars, an ambulance and a firetruck. There was a young man, seemingly so distraught, with his arms waving and yelling out language that I couldn't repeat. He kept saying get an ambulance. Short side of the story was that another young man was stabbed and he was taken away by ambulance. I saw him being taken away. I guess he had to have surgery but is stable. The police put up the yellow crime scene tape and started to question those standing around. I just hoped the young man would be okay. I just wish something could touch their hearts so they know how much good is within them. They deserve and could get so much more.

I had to work last evening. That time of the year again. My tummy was really feeling yucky. But I finished what I had to do. Then I went home. On my way home I returned a call to my friend Deb. I found out another special lady, that I had just started a friendship with, was killed in a car accident. My heart was so heavy. I talked for a bit with Deb and just felt what a waste. I had to start finding that joy in my journey because I don't know how long my journey will last. By the time we pulled in the yard I just wanted to cry. And cry I did.

I guess that would be my hope for all of you today - is that you find joy in your journey and peace in your lives. Don't put things off until tomorrow because all too often tomorrow never comes.

I love my life...I love my life...

Thursday morning/Friday

What is it about Thursday mornings? Too early to be called the weekend but you know that the weekend is in sight. I just wanted to express how much I love my family. I am so truly blessed to have been born when I was and in the family that was chosen for me. I love my mom & dad so much that I think my heart can't hold it all. My mom has passed through the veil but that doesn't matter. I love her as much as if she were here. My eternal sweetheart is my life. He is my joy and he is my breath. I love him for all he is and will be.

It is now Friday!!! Yahoo!! Dad, David & I went to McGinnis last evening. We had a great meal and then went to Chapters. Three new scrapping magazines and a vanilla bean frappachino later, we went home happy.

I love going places with my family. Can't wait until tomorrow as we are going to the temple. I hope all of you have a great weekend.
