Often when I feel a little knocked down and overwhelmed by the world, I reflect on my life and how I'm doing. I ask myself this series of questions and pretty soon I remember what is important in life. Bills, money, school, and stress take a back seat to the wonderful blessings I have in my life.
I wonder if when I leave a place do people think fondly on the time we spent together or are they glad to see me go?
Am I being the kind of friend that people seek out and cherish, or am I just an aquaintance, someone they once knew?
I wonder if in my daily activites whether I am touching lives or just annoying the hell out of people?
Will my kids think back and remember me for the fun crazy times, or the times I screamed and yelled and lost my patience?
Have I loved my husband deeply enough that there would be an ache in his heart if I were gone?
Does my mom know how much she means to me? Does she know how scared I am of ever losing her?
Do my sisters know how much I love them and how much I cherish their friendship?
So for all of you important people in my life, I want you to know you are amazing, you are wonderful, and I love you! You make my life worth living, it is you who make everything else irrelevant!

Ooo, Wow! Very good questions to ponder! You know Mandy, I'm not sure that I ever really took the time to thank you for making such a sweet effort to comfort me while I was sitting in a hospital bed during the ordeal with my twins. I'll never forget the wonderful surprise of arriving back to my room after yet another series of tests only to find the sweet package from you that had been delivered. You touched my life that day and I have only been more grateful to know you as the years have progressed and we've gotten to know eachother a bit better. Thank you for your loving thoughtfulness Mandy!
