On Thanksgiving and Everyday…

November 26th, 2009

We should be thankful
Everyday.
We should be free
Everyday.
We should be faithful
Everyday.
We should shine
Everyday.

If you haven’t, you should be reading the updates by Peter Mayhew about his wife—my friend—Anissa.   They will put into perspective the fact that we should be grateful everyday of our lives, even in the mess, the muck, and the madness.

I love my sisters because they touch my heart!

November 23rd, 2009

I love my girlfriend, my sister…because in the midst of my panicked phone call that my own family wouldn’t take me in while I contemplated the probable end of my marriage – without hesitation to her own crowded home she invited me and my children in. To love and support…to talk and to veg. To just be.

She is my rock through this.

“Just tell me why you love your girlfriends, your sisters,” I said.

The answers I got where incredibly touching.   Thank you to all for sharing.  And congratulations to Sarah!
