Today I am thankful for Alicia. She is one of Chloe’s coaches, as well as our neighbor. I am thankful for her for more than the obvious reason she would first mention…..she is Chloe’s personal taxi to and from the gym, a lot! I am thankful for her because she is a support, and a […]
Today has been a day of transition. I finally bit the dust and bought a new theme for my blog….the problem is now I have to learn all the short codes, and other strange new terminology. So I am short and sweet today. Today I am thankful for the opportunity to enhance my blog once […]
In a few short days my mother will be heading out on yet another missions trip with her church. I remember when she told us she was going on her first one, I was less than thrilled. Today, my feelings have not changed much, other than to say my anxiety about her leaving and returning […]
When preparing to start these posts, my dear friend Shana was concerned about doing them “right”. I told her there was no “right” way to do this and that “you could be thankful for paperclips for all I care!”. This has led to a myriad of other things for us. Now I will never look […]
