Down to Earth

Hello most humans and many others,

It is the time of year to be thankful. Missy Linda and Tio Kane are kind of quiet today, and I hope that they are thinking of some of the things that they have to appreciate. They are somewhat sad right now, too. Yesterday afternoon one of Tio Kane's friends died. Missy Linda didn't know him, but it was such a shocking thing, she is sad that a young seemingly healthy guy had something like this happen.

After having a severe backache for awhile, which he was going to various doctors about, he was diagnosed last Friday with stage four cancer in his spine and other places. He had at least one MRI, and he had been sent to several different doctors, but no one caught it. That's one of the main reasons Missy Linda feels sad. He was doing what he should have been doing by trying to discover what the problem was. It was so advanced by last Friday, it's unbelievable that they couldn't find it
earlier. He died on Tuesday. That is just horrifying and sad.

Just be thankful for every minute you have, even if you aren't having the greatest time. You still have a chance to change things. Don't let petty things keep you from enjoying the company of family and friends. Try to find something to be thankful for every day, even if it's just something tiny like a great piece of pie or cake. Maybe your coffee was extra good this morning or the leaves covering your yard, that you will have to rake up later, are extra colorful. Find something to enjoy!
