these days

Days swiftly fade into nights only to awake again with the sun as a new day begins. It feels like these days are slipping through my fingers with barely a memory to hold their place.

Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving and with recent events in my life I am reminded how precious and fleeting life on this Earth can be. I am so thankful for the people in my life. Memories flood my mind when I start to think of all the people that surround me. It doesn't seem enough to simply say a simple prayer of thanksgiving for my friends and family, yet it is something I am glad to do. I have been given so much and I am so grateful for what I have. Let me not forget or ever cease being thankful.

I am also thankful for the opportunity to travel over 8,000 miles to another continent to share a piece of myself with others. I will be going March 25 through April 10, 2010; my portion of the trip is $4500, which includes airfare, transportation, housing, etc. I would be so grateful if you considered a financial gift towards my trip. Even a small donation makes a huge difference.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I know that March will be here sooner than I think is even possible, so I'm hoping to take a few moments to enjoy the adventure as much as I can.
