I have been doing some thinking today about family and friends. I guess it's because of the holidays and I'm getting all sentimental. The past year and a half has been horrible in terms of how much loss my family has suffered. Never would I have imagined that I would have lost both parents (within 9 months of each other), the loss of Scott's job, the starting of Scott's new business (which put me back in the work force), Jackson's changing from his old school that he attended since he was 3 to a new school system all together, and the loss of one of the best friends I have ever had. Just trying to hold my head up high can be difficult most days.
On the brighter side, I am so thankful for the family and friends that I do have and that I still have a roof over my head (at least for now). I have the best family in the world. Also, I have reconnected with my best friend from high school. What a holiday treat that is. I plan on taking one day at a time and not taking anything for granted any more. I did too much of that in the past. I advise everyone to do the same.
Well that's enough of being mushy for now. On the brighter side, congrats to my brother Wayne for getting a publishing deal in Nashville for his song writing. He and my sister-in-law are such musical talents. He writes beautiful songs and she sings beautiful songs. If they really loved me, they would have taken me to Vegas this week though. I missed out on going with them to Vegas yet again. Oh well, maybe next time!
Have a good day everybody! Love to all!

Hey Leslie, I know you are going through a hard time right now. I thought I would never get over losing Mama and Charlie within 3 months of each other, but life goes on. We just have to love and appreciate our family every day like it is the last. We are lucky to have a close family.
I loved your dancing song. Tell Scott and Jackson I said "Hello". I hope you, Scott, and Jackson have a wonderful Christmas.
We love you, Wanda
