I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more important than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

No Cost Giving
Want to share 8 gifts that don't cost a cent to give:
1. The gift of LISTENING but make sure you are really listening, not planning your response.
2. The gift of AFFECTION. Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back. These small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
3. The gift of LAUGHTER. Clip cartoons, Share articles and funny stories. This says "I love to laugh with you."
4. The gift of a WRITTEN NOTE. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime and it may even change an life.
5. The gift of a COMPLIMENT. A sincere, "you look great" or "that was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
6. The gift of a FAVOR. Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
7. The gift of SOLITUDE. Be sensitive to the times when you want to be left alone and recognize and give that same gift to others.
8. The gift of a CHEERFUL DISPOSITION. Easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone. Maybe a HELLO or THANK YOU.

Holiday time
This is supposed to be a happy time of the year and usually it is. For my family, this is a bittersweet time because my Mom took a turn for the worst last year this time (Thanksgiving week.) So this is the first Thanksgiving without her. Then 2 days before Thanksgiving this year, my cousin died. And my sister lost her Mom earlier this year so this was her first Thanksgiving without her Mom. WOW!!! Not going to make the usual trite remarks that don't make anyone feel any better. I don't know why things happened the way they did for my family over the course of 1 year. Are we still blessed? Of course! Can we feel it now? Probably not. My cousin's family is mourning the loss of a son, brother who had not experienced all that life has to offer yet. Yes this pain will pass in time. But in the meantime, life goes on. I am grateful for the years I had with my Mom, my cousin and my sister's Mom. It makes me appreciate the friends and family that are still with me. So let me remind you to tell friends and family that you love them whenever you can. It will be appreciated. Don't forget the laughter of your friends and loved ones. Continue to enjoy life. I think they would want us to do that. Much love to all of you.
