71 of 100 ... A Day of Tears

I seemed to have an emotional day today ... tears were always a breath away and more than once, I could not hold them back.  The reason?  Too numerous to itemize.  Sometimes the wave of pain just washes over me again ... but all is ok.  I pick up the pieces and move on.   Besides, it is Thanksgiving Monday ... a day to be thankful for all that has been gifted to me!

Gratitude:
1.  I'm so grateful today, for family that is blood and family that welcomes me. 2.  I'm so grateful for the conversation I had with my brother.  I don't tell him often enough that I love him but I do.  I don't tell my niece and nephew and sister-in-law that I love them, but I do.  
3.  I'm so grateful today for families that have welcomed me into their celebrations.  This year, though it was difficult, I chose to stay home (many reasons).  But, simply knowing that there was a family that invited me to their family time, made the alone-ness bearable.  No turkey dinner for me ... left-over Chinese food!  Thankfully, it was really good left-over Chinese food!! 
4.  I'm so grateful today that I got a few much-needed things done.  Each weekend, I make another step towards my vision, re-clean what I've cleaned already and another step or two in the right direction. 
5.  I'm so grateful today for the friends that have stuck by me as I've floundered and struggled.  Though they are few and far between, because they are so few, my gratitude overflows.  And, close behind, tears.  In my mind, I hug each of them.

Make sure you tell those who share their life with you how you feel.  Make sure you show them your love.  You never know when it might all change ... `Gather ye rosebuds while ye may ...`
