Loved Ones

Today I realized as people wished me Happy Birthday that I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful and caring people in my life. There are some people that I have known for so long that I do not remember I time that I did not know them. Others from various stages in my life like school and work. Others still I acquired through marriage. Thank you all for being a part of my life.

Feet

Often I am afraid that in focus more on the things that are going wrong in my life instead of focusing on what's going right, that I focus more on what I don't have instead of focusing on what I do have. So I have decided to write a blog and hopefully change that. I also must give a shout out to Lynn, as she has inspired me with her own blog to try something new. So what am I thankful for today? My feet!

Why feet? Well one of my favorite things in this world, are shoes and in order to wear these shoes, I need a pair of feet. Which I have been blessed to have. These feet of mine allow me to dress the up with a whole assortment of shoes, really really cute shoes. They allow me to walk Phog every morning. I can run in 5Ks with my feet. I can ink one with with a tattoo or possibly more.
