Today I'm grateful for life. Kind of broad I realize...Just this past week I found out two people I care about and have known for a very long time have received difficult, if not life ending, diagnoses. It makes me grateful to know them, love them, and have them in my life. Life is way…
Time for Gratitude: Day Ten

Time for Gratitude: Day Nine
