November 12th!

November 12, 2010

This is a day to remember!  It was absolutely glorious!!  God is good and I feel alive.  I can not say more about the picture perfect Fall day we had here in NJ today.  The sun was shining, the leaves on the trees have never been more colorful nor more brilliant.  Not a cloud in the sky for miles to see.  In more ways than one the sense of renewal, happiness and love are indeed here and I feel them!

Once again the Make-A-Wish Foundation of NJ came through.  After meeting with 12-year-old Rebecca in her home many days ago I had the distinct pleasure of phoning her mother today to give her the joyous news that "Rebecca is going to Disney World"!  Over her birthday no less!  Rebecca is an incredible girl so very much loved by her incredible family.  Delivering messages like this is what life is all about.  Loving and giving to those around us, to feel good about life, is what we should all live for.  No medical charts, doctors or IV's.  Just Mickey Mouse and ALL his friends!

Even as the hours of sunshine diminish day-by-day, and as darkness settles in, tears still well up in my eyes (literally!) when I reminisce about the truly joyous day that November 12th was.  And.....if you have a chance, listen to a few of your favorite songs or read a verse from your favorite poem, and know that there are good people in our country who are making a difference in the lives of others.  Thank you to those who have and are making a difference in my life!!

Love,
