That we have Angels who walk beside us. Two of mine: my dad and sister. Gone too soon, each an August like this one, some time ago. I love and miss them more than any words can tell. Thankful today, and always, for my Angels, and the hope that keeps them close….

That there’s a reason, a season, and a lifetime, and people to fit each one. Thank you for being part of my life.“An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break. May you be open to each…

For el cafecito – that sweet octane with espumita that lifts spirits and an aroma worth bottling. [Yes, soy Cubana, and Café Cubano runs through my veins]. Thankful (particularly on this rain-induced sleepy day) for this tradition, among many, and especially grateful for the times spent enjoying los cafecitos with family and friends….

For relocations. The type that brings your loved ones back home. Recently, my brother and sister-in-law; just this week, my cousin and kids. We are thrilled to have you back!….

Thankful that some of the best things in life are free — rainy days (okay okay ☺), hope, love, praying (or we’d be broke), faith, memories…
Aren’t we lucky?….

On Monday, our baby girl turned 21 — fifth milestone of 2013 for us — so thankful to have been blessed with life to see it happen. Lauren, remember, you will have many more experiences, many more moments, and pass many more milestones. Seek your balance. ♥
