What Is Happening Today On Gather - Wednesday April 16, 2008

 Wow! It sure has been a crazy day. This is going to be a short article but tomorrows will be bigger and better so remember to stop back in. Seems everything I had planned just fell through. Life can be like that sometimes though.  I have been thinking about how lucky I am to be alive. I mean I have so much to be thankful for. I have a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters, two adorable Grandchildren.  I could go on and on. The beauty of Nature is all around me as well. I am just so fortunate and yet sometimes I take it all for granted. Life is short. Life is full of surprises and life is good! Enjoy Life!

Remember there will be another live chat with Tom on Tuesday April 22, Unless plans have changed.
