Grateful

This past week or so I have heard stories and witnessed so much sadness. It has touched me to the core of my soul and I could not go a day longer without expressing some gratitude. It is in a list form, so I warn you that if you do not like lists you may want to skip this one, it may get out of hand. Remember that it is in absolutely random order except for the first three…
