Day 252

With all of the 9/11 stories in the news today the following thought has run through my head all day. The greatest gift in life is to go to sleep at night secure in the knowledge that all your loved ones are where they are supposed to be. A few nights ago, as I often am I was the last one awake in the house. Chuck was asleep, Cuppy and Snowy were also asleep and I was on my way. As I nodded off I thanked God that all of my loved ones were safe and where they were supposed to be. I do that from time to time. I wish I could tell you that I’m that grateful on a daily basis but sadly I am not.

If I’ve learned anything this year it’s that it all can change in a moment. If when you close your eyes tonight all of your loved ones are safe and where they are supposed to be you are blessed beyond measure, be grateful. Sleep well. I love you all.

With much love and great affection,
