I saw this quote:
Steve Maraboli
"Sometimes there are stormy moments in your life when your friends do more than just walk with you; they become angels that carry you and protect you with their wings."

a flood  of faces, feeling, memories came to mind and heart. I felt myself smile and laugh. Tears came up and my heart was full.  How many times over the years have I had those moments...stormy moments...yes, angels appeared and stayed.   those moments and You have brought me to where I am today and I stand in Gratitude's light because of it all, with it all and I am happy. You have told me it can be done and had faith in me, when I didn't see it in myself but You showed me the way...I Am Grateful.  Storm moments, just remind us what the light looks like, feels like, truly is.  Thank You!  
When I started in theatre, I heard alot: "find your light..." "feel it, can't you feel the light..."  "feel the heat of the light and stand in it..."  I've found it, not only in the theatre but in my Life!  I feel it, the heat of it and I will stand in it....Gratitude's Light...You all, in someway or another, have helped me find that light and always, with your presented in my Life, you are that Light!  Thank You!  
Home is truly where the heart is and when I think about you, am around you, here your voice over the phone....I Am Home!  No matter where I Am, with you in my heart, mind and soul...I Am Home!
...and the Celebrations continue...and so it is.
