Love

The saying "you can't live by love alone" is certainly wrong; for me anyways. I returned from a week away in Wisconsin to a gigantic Josie hug the minute I put down my suitcase. Followed shortly by a wonderful hug from Stacy. I had a great time with brothers, sister, niece, and Aunt Nancy. They might have wearied at yet another Jack and Josie story but what can I say--they're the light of my life. Jack kept introducing himself to me while he was eating dinner and when he was done kept leaving the room and coming back to stand next to me; sitting on my lap while I was reading Josie a story. This is heaven with a capital "H"!

I don't want to leave Stacy out and even Matt who offered me a piece of pumpkin pie before Sally got into it. It's just good to be back in the fold. Even Sally jumped into my lap and couldn't stop smelling Marley; something Marley had been doing while I was at Dave and Therese's.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to count your blessings. I have so many. Something to sustain me while I'm looking for a job and all the other day-to-day things I need to do.
