Life is a Precious Gift

Blog soundtrack:



"Religion, to me, is about how you live your life and how kind you are to the people around you. And that you do good, every day, if you can do a little good."

"You just have to remember that life is a precious gift. There but for the grace of God go I."

"We're afforded one life, and that's all we're given. You've got to try to do the best you can in that life."

~Quotes from family members of 9/11 victims that are pasted to my pencil cup, the one I got at the San Diego Zoo when I visited there with Tunabreath way back when!

Happy Thanksgiving! I love you all, and "you all" know who you are!

Today, as most are, I am thankful for my children, my wonderful friends, my cute yet sometimes annoying pets, and my varied interests (writing, vintage clothing, Hello Kitty, the ocean, baking, and my new-found hobby, loitering, just to name a few!).

And as I wrapped the dinner rolls in a cross-stitched “Nothin’ says lovin’ like something from the oven” towel that my girlfriend, Bitsy, made me years ago, I am most thankful for my life, especially the last nine months of it. ♥
