Day 138: Good Vibes, Please.

I could use some seriously good vibes right now, and so could my family. I just got the news that my aunt has lost her battle with cancer and is basically faced with the decision of when to die. So any spare prayers of vibes you have would be much appreciated.

Eileen was the first person to visit me in the hospital when I was born, and she's been a huge part of my life ever since. I can't believe I'm facing the rest of my life without her.

So today I am grateful for the little things that made my day start out well. While I'm feeling an absence of gratitude currently, the things I was grateful for earlier include:

• getting most of my Christmas cards done today.
• waking up in my own bed.
• the way Doby and Daisy reacted to us being home.
• Christmas stamps.
• hugs.
