Thankful this Thursday

While I was at bowling trying to get those pins to fall done, I noticed some messages from "messenger".  I was shocked to open them up and read that Robin had a massive Heart Attack and was in surgery for four hours  to have a stint put in her artery to unclog it!  Scary! I'm glad that she is okay.  Times like this make me realize how fragile life is and how at any minute one of us could be gone.  I really like how loving and supporting the "sista's" are to each other.  I kept reading the love and concern others had for Robin.  I was happy that some went to visit her and I loved reading how Robin had them laughing.  Robin is good at telling stories and her sarcastic side really is hilarious.

After bowling I went to Daughters of Utah Pioneers.  I love learning about the pioneers and being around good women.  Robin Bailey shared a story of one of Durk's ancestors today and it was really quite interesting.  She did a good job.  Those people went through some pretty crazy things like we do.  Marriage has never been easy.  People cheat and are not always good to their spouse.  Life is hard but with God's help it's easier to handle.

I came home and made up a few  "I Care Bags" that I plan on giving out later.  Then for Special Needs we went to Weber States Game.  Oh my heck it was fun...especially listening to the girls cheer.  It was fun to watch a few of the girls who are always helping the others.  We had a few that were going and getting drink for the ones that don't like walking and climbing stairs.  We had one crying because she wanted a drink and soon someone was going to get her one.  Dyan got this all together and had even brought everyone treats.  I work with such wonderful ladies and I love them all.  We saw Wanda on our way out and I really miss her.  She was a super President!

On the way home a few of the gals share their experiences of being suicidal and even trying to take their life because of how hard it is at times.  I am so thankful that they didn't and that they are still with us because they are so great and make my life better.  They are a blessing to many and really the two that shared are so happy right now that I would have never guessed they had felt that way.  I learn so much about these girls every week.  I learned that Emily was married to the cute guy she brought last week.  I'm getting to the point I am starting to ask them all if they are married or have been. ☺

When I got home Larry told me that his dad had been over to visit with us.  His dad has prostrate cancer and because of his age they aren't going to do anything for it.  That makes me sad....I like having dad around and even though I know the time is ticking away for each of us I don't want it to stop.

I'm thankful for each and every day and for those I get to share my days with.  Everyone holds a special place in my heart!  Life Really is a Gift!
