Count your Blessings

Man, so many things have been happening to people that we care about. Today one of the nicest people that I have ever met passed away. Maelynn was only 30. She was married two weeks after me and has 5 kids. My heart is so full right now thinking of Andrew and their kids. I can't imagine what that would be like. We are glad she is not hurting anymore, but will surely miss her.
We are also thinking of my distant cousin and former USU roommate, Erin Hansen. She had her baby at 23 weeks. Baby Julia is now 2 weeks and had a heart surgery over the weekend.
Also a friend up at USU was Kelli Johnson. I posted about her on FB. She was in a terrible skiing accident on Christmas Eve. Her daughter died that was just about a year younger than Miah and she is still in the hospital fighting to get her life back.
Our good friends, Jeff and Tiscia, have been going through a lot lately too.
Lastly, I'm thinking of my Aunt Sharon. Her last day at FPSC was on Friday. I will miss seeing her there and am thinking of her all the time.
I'm just thinking and praying for all these people wishing that there was more that I could do besides sending them my love.
It makes me realize that I really need to be THANKFUL for all my family and friends and am thankful for everything that I have. If you can add these people into your prayers or good thoughts this week it would be appreciated!!
