Today I'm grateful for memories shared with those who have passed away. Those memories keep them alive for me and I never want to take for granted that I once knew them. Last night I walked around the track during the luminaria ceremony at the Relay for Life in Oregon City. It was a solemn…

Time for Gratitude: Day Twenty-Six
Feeling grateful today for the lives of those killed in the Charleston, SC church shooting. I'm grieving for them but am grateful for the lives they touched and their strong faith. I will be thinking of them and their families in the days ahead.
Time for Gratitude: Day Twenty-Four
