Dear Friends and Family,
November is a special time for me. Not only will I get to enjoy Thanksgiving Day with
my family, but to give thanks and praise for surviving my near fatal accident, the day before Thanksgiving, November 26, 2014. ( A Thanksgiving Miracle, Part one)

I know with a certainty that my survival is due to my faith and trust in God.
I do not take my life for granted. I am learning to live in the moment. Without seeming trite, I take each day as it comes and make the most of it.
My year so far has been filled with joy and excitement. Among the many blessings I have received, there are two exceptional events that I relish. The first is becoming a great grandmother in May. I am delighted whenever I receive photos of my great granddaughter or get to hold her in my arms. So much love to share.
The second event found three of my friends and me exploring Ireland, Scotland, and England for three weeks in September. We did not go on a tour. Rather, we went wherever the four winds took us using public transportation. It was quite an adventure. We returned with photos galore and awesome memories. Would I go again? You betcha!
Unfortunately, I do experience flashbacks at the oddest times. The sensation of watching myself and the car submerge in the water in total darkness is both jolting and uncanny. But the flashbacks are diminishing and will continue to do so until they are but a fleeting memory.
And so, I would like to wish you all a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving Holiday.
