It made me
smile all day 
How I did it: Valentine's day can be a reminder of what we don't have as much as a reminder of what we do have in our lives. I wanted to make sure that those in my life knew how much I love them and how much they mean to me. I sent flowers, but mainly, I got on the phone and called people all day to tell them that I love them. I was specific about it, and how much they mean to me.I really felt great about reaching out and sharing the love! Read how I did it…

How I did it: I thought through the little things that would make his life better...the small things that he really could use and I got him those things. I also helped him rebuild his wardrobe after his weight loss - and put in some of the pieces he still needed to feel like he has going out and staying in clothes. We dined out.

In the moment of light, when my daughter came home, an hour of darkness came – A sadness from deep inside, where tears flowed and I couldn’t stop or source the depth of sorrow. It was one of great loss, in feeling lost, even if momentarily, feeling unloved, unwanted and as a failure. How can these things come in such a fleeting way when the light is around the corner? And yet, there it was.
A dark hour of sorrow.
Does this ground us? Is that why these moments come – to remind us of our humanity? Our feelings that lie just below the surface…. ow.
And they have been the most comforting 24 hours of my life.
So happy to have her in my life.
So happy.
So happy.
