Christmas!

This year, I realized that more than anything - I am thankful, truely thankful, for my family and my health. I watched the movie Sister's Keeper two nights ago with Debbi. It was SO sad to think about how many families must undergo the effects of cancer. This past year my grandfather passed away from cancer and the movie brought a lot of that back for me. In one scene in the movie, there is a discussion about death and how it is normal and sometimes you have to let the person go from this earth. They are still there just not physically. I know my grandfather is looking down on us this year and am blessed to have so many memories with him.

Lasting Impression

The way we live each stage of life leaves a lasting impression on others and a legacy. I know there are certain things in my life that I hold and value- certain decisions that I do not want to compromise.

When I jeapordize those standards for someone else- it not only makes me have less respect for myself but have less respect for the value of the relationship before God. I have to remain true to my heart in what I know is right for me. Each person has a different conviction level. But honesty is what is important and mutual respect for each others differences even if they are different than your own.

My lasting impression will be to be someone who remains true to herself no matter what the cost may be.
