Today I'm grateful for healing. Cancer is a complicated diagnosis. It can many different things to many different people. On one hand, it seems like everyone I know and love has been touched by cancer. My father, my friends, my friends's parents, my coworkers, and other family. Many of those people deal with it and…

Today I’m grateful for Mondays. A little strange as I will be the first person to tell you how much I dread Mondays. I work the Monday-Thursday (10 hour days) work schedule and Monday is always the worst day of the bunch. It means the week is just beginning… But today, in the face of…

Today I'm grateful for my husband's sense of humor. My husband Tim makes me laugh on a daily basis. He's a reminder to me to never take myself too seriously. I fell in love with him because of his witty sense of humor. He can make the most sarcastic observations that leave me in stiches.…

Not everyone can experience such a…

Today I'm grateful for Toastmasters. This morning I had a bad morning. I was late leaving the house due to several unusual happenings. Traffic was a nightmare. The rain and wind completely undid me on the walk into work. I fell off the toilet (long story). And I just couldn't lift my mood from yesterday…

Today I'm grateful for the sound of my Grandmother's voice. My Grandma Monroe passed away a year ago today, November 16th. I remember the call from my Dad the morning she passed. I felt both deep grief and great relief when he told me. Grandma had been suffering and wasn’t really the Grandma I knew…

I'm grateful today that I have so much "stuff" that packing to move is overwhelming and so much work. I know when some people move they have very few things and don't have much to take with them from place to place. Sometimes that's by choice and sometimes by circumstance. I don't need a lot…
