I have been thinking a lot about this lately and feel the need to blog on this subject. Sometimes we take things for granted and don't appreciate people or things we have in our life.
I think we all can be a little bit more kinder in the world to everyone whether we know them or not.
I am thankful for My God
for my family
for my job
for my health
for having lived a good life
for my friends
for being able to have a wonderful hobby (scrapbooking & photography for those of you who don't know).
This year will be the first of many holidays I will spend without my Mother and I miss her dearly. I had her in my life 52 years and she lived a good long life. But I cannot forget all the other people who will celebrate the holidays without loved ones they have lost through sickness, war or other circumstances. I just want to say I am grateful and thankful to have had Mom with me all these years. I have my memories and that will get me and my Dad through the holidays.
Well, as I sit here crying I would just like everyone who reads my blog to think of something to be thankful for. I know the world is crazy and times are hard but at least you woke up this morning and were breathing. So go and do something nice for someone whether you know them or not. Because if everyone did just one nice thing a day the world would be a better place.
Hugs and
Take Care
Remember to do something nice everyday and be thankful
Always Terri

Terri,
Thank you so much for your words that truly hit home in so many ways. Life is fleeting and we don't know what tomorrow holds....
You are in my thoughts in so many ways as the holidays approach. Hope you find comfort in knowing your not alone and your friends are here for you.
Hugs,
Betty
Terri, I realize how fortunate I am, everyday, to still have my parents. They are in their late
70's and healthy. I can only imagine how horrible it will be without them. Please know you can call on us anytime. We are there for you.
When I think of all the people I know that have lost family this past year, it really makes you think. You are right, we should be glad when we wake up and have another day.
(By the way, I know it is 0530 but I am on call and already getting calls.)

My thought are with you this holiday season. Life is indeed a very fragil gift we are given and every day (not just holidays) we should be thankful for all that we have been blessed with.
Terri,
I know how it is to miss a parent through the holidays. My mom has been gone since I was ten and even though it has been many years and I have my own family now it is still hard. I hope that you find an inner peace knowing that your mom is at home with the heavenly father and one day we will all get to meet up again in a place so much more glorious than this old earth! :)
Happy Thanksgiving! Love ya!
Ivana
