Today is a true day of Thanksgiving.  My Uncle generously gave one of his kidney's so that my Dad could live a long and healthy life.  The surgery's went well for both my Uncle and my Dad.  They have recovered and my Dad's new kidney is working well.  I am so grateful to loving family members who give of themselves time and time again.  I have been so blessed to be a part of my Dad's family. I love each and everyone of my extended family. 
On a different note I have decided that I am not the best writer and there are times when I am not sure what to write, however I love that fact that writing does not have to be rigid with specific guidelines.  I have enjoyed being able to get my thoughts down and letting them wander as I reflect on my day or experiences that I have.  Many of my writings have been a result of me rolling thoughts around in my head and then letting them flow out on paper.  I realize that writing doesn't always happen this way, but I love it when it works and the results are better than what I expected.  If I ever aspired to become a writer I know that I will have to do a lot more than what I have done so far, which is really just for college.  This experience of blogging has been enlightening.  I have always liked reading other people's blogs and thought "WOW!" they are awesome.  What it boils down to is just taking a few minutes a day(or hours for some) and letting our thoughts out and sharing with others.  I hope that I will be able to keep this up after this class. And maybe be brave enough to share with more than my classmates and my professor.

  1. I will be praying for you dad and uncle. It sounds like you have had a semester much like mine. I also, would like to keep blogging and feeling more comfortable to share while in my writing pants. I wish your family well. Thanks for sharing.

  2. You have a wonderful family. I think the most important thing that I have learned is to just let ideas flow. It seems to work for the kids at school that I have been watching. They like writing time! What a victory for their teacher.
