Compassion and Humanity

Today I'm grateful for...

Taylor's bravery, she's started trying new things and not being so afraid.

All of the ex-boyfriends, lovers that I've had, whether it was good or bad, right or wrong, I'm thankful for all of the emotions I've felt and for every moment that I was swept away and lost my breath due to the beauty of human emotions and the ability to love in an instant, for an instant or for ever.

Self reflection

Facing Fear

Taylor's endless amounts of energy!

Kelsey's ability to create the most amazing stories out of anything. That she loves it when other people get involved in her crazy stories and add twists and turns of their own taking the story in a new direction.

Hearing Taylor singing in the other room.

Crock Pot meals

That my kids ask for vegetables with their meals.

That I feel like I will have a life long connection with Nancy, I feel her with me every day. Don't understand it, but don't have to either.

Emails from Shelly (Feeny) Trader, and my connection with her family from high school and beyond which originally started with our parents. As childhood friends we never knew we'd grow up and unknowingly become high school friends. Didn't find out our parents knew each other until a year ago. My ability to give support to her and her sister during their mother's time with cancer.

That I'm able to help give some comfort to grieving families by donating paintings to raise money for the funerals.

That grief recovery has become such a big issue in my life and all of the grieving people who have come into my life, given me support and let me give them support.

Compassion and humanity

Good things are happening to the people I love.
