Thankful Gifts

I was reminded once again today of the gift of life I have been given
as I spoke with a life-long friend whose son has been diagnosed
with cancer and has had his first treatment. They are very hopeful
that all will be alright. But as we talked and she asked questions
that were concerning her and as I answered them the best I could,
I couldn't help but once again express gratitude for my life, for
good doctors and family. One never knows from minute to minute
what lays in store for us or our loved ones. So, I need to express
gratitude for more gifts I enjoy.
