Being Grateful

Sometimes you just need to reflect and be grateful.


This is my morning view from my office desk....


Don’t take life, love or friendship for granted.
Things pass, opportunities pass, life passes and we miss the love that is right there in front of us.

2009
I lost my 44 yr old brother in-law whom I knew since he was 15
I lost my husband and partner of 28 years
I lost my german shepard and running partner of 14 years
and we won’t talk about losing my shoulder


I say that because today when I thought I lost my adopted (brother in-laws) dog. The dog whom my daughter says is the only tie we have left. (of Steve and Mikie)
YES, the one I complain about all the time. I realized once again not to take things for granted. (dog was finally found 4 hours later)

Today was a morning at ACF I did not take for granted! It was clearly a morning filled with love, life and friendship.
I loved seeing everyone working hard and eating good.....
....I cook and serve, because I love to, I love to share and I love to give.
I don’t do things to receive anything....”I” received more than you can ever image....

And I am so glad you all had a horrible time and finally found out that my cooking is the worst! That makes me happy.

I don’t take Morning Mayham for granted nor do I take the love and friendship that it has grown into.

We are one of a kind! And I love and appreciate everyone there. (yes Dave, that means you too)

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

with love and appreciation,
Joy Marie

P.S. Bill, Mathew, Laura(who we should all be proud of for being so so good at a party last night!), Nick, and Mike we missed you today. See you all Monday.










Share life, love and happiness with someone today.
