It’s a tough one, but seems like his song and spirit have touch many.

In reply to Amber.

Thank you so much, I will – appreciate it :) And a perfect time to be thinking about this stuff too with Thanksgiving and family all around – we need constant reminders so we don’t get sucked into our own little worlds! We’re all very blessed to be living and breathing.

This post has been on my mind all weekend – thank you for putting it out there. It’s important to remember that we might not always have our family or friends with us, and we need to enjoy them and really live each day. But it’s also to remember that we can’t spend all of our time living in the now – we have to be prepared for the future too, whatever it may bring.

I’ve kept your young friend in my thoughts – please keep us updated on how he’s doing.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! Sucky situations that got you to this point, but great job enjoying some pleasantries on a day-to-day level. I love hearing that :) Saving for the future is of course still pretty important, but you need some mini-splurging along the way to enjoy ourselves in the now as well. And I hope the future brings your family, and your town, a lot more happiness than pain in the years ahead. Thanks so much for stopping by.

In reply to Kristie.

Awww, thanks so much Kristie!! I needed that :) You’re right – blog or no blog I’d be feeling, and wondering, the same. Good point. So glad you’re getting something out of my blog too and that you enjoy it. My goal is to remain on the more positive side, so I’m happy it’s coming across that way despite posts like this one :) Hope you had a most wonderful Thanksgiving! And a future Christmas too!

In reply to Dear Debt. I hope things get lighter for you and your family as these weeks go by :) I'm a bit better now than I was this time last week (the power of being around family and soul searching), but still not back to the "normal" me... perhaps sometimes we just create a new normal?
