Every year around this time I begin to look back at my life and think about the things I am truly thankful for. One of the biggest gifts I have been given is time. Sadly I have not spent that time with many people who mean so much to me. We all tend to get caught up in our own lives but one of the things I have learned is that you never know what tomorrow will bring. Yo never know if that last thing you said to someone will be the last thing that person hears from you. Life is so short and I need to be more active in telling the people I love that I love them. It makes me sad, especially around the holidays, that my family is so spread out. I was blessed to have my father live only a few hours away from me, but I didn't make that trip often enough. Now he is thousands of miles away and I wish I could see him. My sisters only live 45 minuets away I don't see either of them nearly enough. It is time for me to make a better effort. I love my family and friends and I don't tell them that nearly enough. I am so thankful for the people I have been blessed to know in this lifetime, some are still with and me and too many are not. For the ones that are not in my life anymore I am so thankful for the memories I have.

I remember when you sang. It was not half bad if I recall. I have no idea what Christmas will be like this year. Izzi's wedding is just three days after. All elinor's
birth kids will be here as well as her step daughter, Cindy. It should be a hoot.
