Every night I pray. I thank God for coming into my heart, and helping me know Him better. I’m not perfect, but each day is an opportunity to try, and for that I feel blessed. Having a previous life-threatening illness puts a whole new perspective on what’s important. In order to enjoy life, loved ones, and laughter, you have to have good health. Ever have the flu? Then you know what I mean. Nothing else matters but feeling better. And this Christmas Day, with all the lights, pretty packaging, holiday food, and parties, I am praying for the health of myself, my loved ones, and for those of you who read my blogs and enjoy my healthy, happy messages.

I am grateful.
