Here’s to a new month, and a new job! 🎉

Here’s to my lungs cooperating. 🥵 😁

Here’s to the men and women fighting in our armed forces. 🇺🇸

Here’s to anyone struggling physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually. 💕

Here’s to the chance to start anew. ☀️

Here’s to life itself.

Life is precious … and we sometimes take it for granted.

With all that is going on, not only personally, but with the world, I count my blessings. I am so grateful to have people in my life who make the world a better place.

Thank you, mom, for all you did for dad and I. We miss you dearly, but know that you are at peace and no longer in pain. I think of you often and smile. Sometimes I even laugh out loud. Some of the things you used to do (that embarrassed me) are things I now do. 😁 I love you, 💕 Until we meet again. 🌷

Dad, you have shown me how to be serious, but also how to have fun. Your CT scan is tomorrow, and, though I shouldn’t be, I am worried. It marks 5 years since your cancer diagnosis, so tomorrow’s scan will tell us where you stand. Praying it’s clear so you’ll be declared cancer free! I love you. 💕
