It only takes a moment

It only takes a moment to appreciate what is good in your world.  One of my friends from college has again reminded me of this.  15 months ago she lost her mother in a well fought battle with cancer.  Nearly 9 months ago she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer herself...after grueling rounds of chemo she is on the mend.  Yesterday she lost her dad after a very short illness!  She is an only child and at 39 that was not enough time!  She does have a wonderful husband and three of the most darling children ever, but who are much too young to have lost both of those grandparents!  

Just a moment to appreciate the wonderful parts of your world...I get to watch Dora with my daughter and have her learn about rainbows and unicorns today instead of walking 5 miles which she does not enjoy quite as much as I do.  

Take just a moment to appreciate those you have.
