Happy belated birthday and thank you sooooo much for sharing what we all should be thankful for. Living alone without having had any children gets to me sometimes. I hate feeling sorry for myself. I REALLY NEEDED to read your post today. Thank you again.
Happy Birthday Sandra for yesterday. Thank you for sharing all the things you are thankful for. I really enjoyed reading them. I felt thankful that you had all those things to be thankful for. 🙂
Sandra,
Happy Birthday to you, and thank for reminding us all about the power and importance of expressing gratitude.
