I am back I think

It has been a crazy time since I last wrote. So much as happened, life changes, people born and people dying. What amazes me is how people keep going without a pause, a look back, or just embracing the moment. Life is some how set on fast pace and we miss so much of it. In two days it will be Thanksgiving, will you pause to really count your blessings or just move through the dinner without really looking who is around you and who is not. Then comes the crazy time of shopping make sure everyone has what they want but not what they need. What is needed can't be bought in a store, wrapped up, or put under a tree. What is needed comes from the heart, a piece of your soul to give to the ones you love around you and ones you meet for the very first time. I want to pause and give thanks for everyone who has enter and exited my life in different ways both good and bad. Things happen for a reason and whether I learned from them or not, I still pause to take a look around me, stepping off the fast pace track for a few moments in time. Does anyone care? Laura
