The Sweetness of Gratitude

There are a lot of people in my life who has taught me so much but if I have to pick one person to show my gratitude for. It would have to be Joshwa. He taught me a lot of life lessons.. He taught me how to love others instead of myself.He taught me that there are things that I have to let go to be able to fully live my life. I love you Joshwa I'm sorry that I may not be the kind of mother that you deserve but thank you for putting up with me. Mommy is still a work in progress.

We are celebrating the 3rd National Thank You Day on October 20, 2009 sponsored by Swiss chocolate Toblerone, Let us just not use word to say thank you. Let us use our actions to let other people know that they are loved and appreciated.
