My Mother and I had a close friend die this week as well. I noticed her looking off into space when we were returning from the funeral and she said...to no one in particular..."They are dropping like flies..." I felt she was wondering about her own self during this time. I began thinking about it as well. The people who are dying now (it seems) are MY parents age where it doesn't seem like so long ago it was my grandparents friends who were dying.

The cycle continues.

Although this is a morbid subject, and unlike the Queen to give serious input, I thankfully lean toward my glass being half full.

So...in light of that, I would say to give thanks for everyone you have known, give thanks for everyone you STILL have, and give thanks that YOU have been given another day, another hour, another minute to get closer and walk with God.

And that, my friends, is as serious as I intend to get today. Hugs,
