Thankful

Today I'm simply thankful. While I miss Mama, I can feel her around me as I go about my day-to-day activities. She is frequently on mind, especially since the Holidays are here. She looked forward to the mishmash of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and the like. To ignore them simply because she is not here in physical body would be a travesty; therefore, I intend to enjoy each to the fullest, knowing, as I've always believed that she is only a whisper away. That, for me, is enough to be thankful.
