Thankful? You betcha.

My sister, Deb, hosted Thanksgiving this year and as you might expect, it was even more special than usual. A lovely table, a perfect bird, joking in the kitchen with family as we piled plates high with favorite foods; there were plenty of  "Hallmark moments" in a day made all the more meaningful by my beloved aunt and uncle being there to share it. That day and every day I give thanks for the family, friends coworkers and caregivers in my life whose support on this journey has meant so much to me.

I hope your holiday was filled with  the joy of the season as well.

  1. So glad your Thanksgiving was special in every way. Each day is such a precious gift, and I often forget that amidst the demands of work and home. Thank you for a reminder to stop and enjoy the day.

    I am thankful for you!

  2. You may see someone who would benefit from a new program from the Buddhist-oriented Shambahla: “Janet Bronstein and Nancy Blanton are leading a six-week meditation program for cancer survivors and their families at the UAB Cancer Center.” More info would be available at
