SOMETIMES, NOT OFTEN ENOUGH, WE REFLECT UPON THE GOOD THINGS. AND THOSE THOUGHTS ALWAYS CENTER AROUND THOSE WE LOVE. AND WE THINK ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO MEAN SO MUCH TO US. AND FOR SO MANY YEARS HAVE MADE US SO VERY HAPPY. AND WE COUNT THE TIMES WE HAVE FORGOTTEN TO SAY THANK YOU, AND JUST HOW MUCH WE LOVE THEM.
It's a beautiful day today, the sun is out and the day is bright. My sister is moving to a new house with her family :) and although its a bigger distance from our house, I am happy they have a house they built on their own, and they can experience all the new things entailed with having a brand new house. Sometimes we have to just let them go and let them experience life.
My other sister is stressed and excited all at the same time for her daughter's wedding. It's only 2 weeks from now and being the mother of the bride, she is busy. I did offer to help her, but then again, I do not want to encroach into her space either. So I guess all I can do is offer.
Me, well, am pretty busy as it is. I am helping a former student look for a place to live. They are migrating here and that's a giant step for them. He is a nice guy and they look like a nice family. I feel good being able to help someone. It is just a great feeling - helping people.
Then, of course, there's the migration of my niece as well. I am helping them out too. They will be arriving soon as well and will be living with us for a few months, I imagine.
AS if I don't have enough on my plate, I also am helping my co worker to look for a hotel in NYC. hahaha
Don't you get the feeling that once you help someone, you end up helping a few more? And I think its because it makes me feel great and useful and just gives that sense of fulfillment.
While I'm helping these people, I also worry about a friend who was just diagnosed with cancer. She is the nicest person ever, and very good (in every sense of the word). And I really feel for her and her family, because I have been there, and it is not easy to know someone in your family has cancer. The good thing is, they are in a place where treatment for this kind of disease is very good and there are a lot of new technologies and medications now, compared to when my mom had hers. I sent her a text message to say hello and ask what the docs have said on Monday. I did not want to call or ask right away, I wanted to give them space first, time to get used tot he idea. I just have this inky feeling that her illness won't be ordinary and the road they will tackle won't be easy. But at the same time, I have this feeling that she will get through this. I just have the feeling that God will make a way and heal her.

I love this song!!! It reiterates how I feel and it always brings tears to my eyes. But today, the tears are specially for my friend. My heart goes out to her, and she is always in my prayers.
Life is short...we never know what we will find around the next bend. Share your love, and say thank everyone who has in some form or another helped you at some point in your life. Because, really, life is not just being able to exist on your own, but being able to live with and for other people.
LIVE AND LET LIVE!!! LIVE, LOVE AND LAUGH!!!
