Perspective

I hope all of your Thanksgivings were super awesome?!?!
We did the usual Thanksgiving lunch with my giant Smith family, ate too much and then played games. I really do love my family; and I'm pretty sure I have some of the best cousins around.
This Wednesday my grandma was diagnosed with Lymphoma. :( So after we were done at my uncle's house we went up to the nursing home to visit her - it really puts things into perspective. Be thankful for every moment you get with your loved ones.

I have so many things in my head that I feel I need to say, but don't know how and then something like "cancer" really puts life back into perspective. Life is so short. I love my husband, family and my friends. I need to focus on the things that are important - surround myself with positive people and things, negativity is everywhere and it just drains the joy out...

Thats all...
