meditations of a blueberry

Sometimes, I wake up and just thank God for the things that I have in my life. I have done that a few more times than usual in the past couple of months. This summer, many people have been touched by tragedy and near tragedy in my life. Mrblueberry's grandmother had a stroke and passed away.
