Re: Gratitude
-the details of life with my kids - bath time, reading books, building legos (used to take this for granted but not anymore!)
-my almost 3-yr-old's love. he'll yell to me from another room just to say "I want a hug" "Mommy you're my best friend" - just love this age -minus the tantrums.
-being able to sell my home
-being forced to think outside the box
-having life thrown in my face to remind me that going through the motions isn't the same as living.
-stacy

Re: Gratitude
It has been a rough week with hospice started Wednesday and good friend of the family dieing last Sunday from Lymphoma - so time to look at the positive side of life:
I am grateful for:
* Wonderful people at Vitas hospice, they know how to provide tender and supportive care
* An understanding doctor team who helped me straighten out a young Palliative Care doctor that hospice didn't mean euthanasia
* Three beautiful daughters who provide me inspiration
* Peggy being awake for 5 straight hours on Wednesday the day she came home because she was so excited
* Many great people in this world who truly add value to our lives including the people on this Board

Re: Gratitude
1. Grateful that Dan and I have decided to share our 5 grateful items each night before we go to bed.
2. Grateful for the barbeque grill and how many nights that saves me from cooking a whole meal in the summer.
3. Grateful for the laughs of a 5 month old
4. Grateful for a house that will be clean in a couple of hours (by me)
5. Grateful for the rain that will make it unnecessary for me to water the new trees later.

Re: Gratitude
1. Grateful for my dear friends without whom I'd be lost
2. Grateful for a compassionate and generous community of golfers who rallied together in Bill's memory, had fun, and raised money for brain cancer
3. Grateful that so far I've been able to handle the upkeep on the house by myself
4. Grateful that we won the appeal with the insurance company and I won't have to pay a $75,000 chemo bill (of course, I've yet to see it in writing but I'm still grateful for the call)
5. Grateful that Bill continues to inspire me to live life by remembering how fully he lived his
