Home Fire

This past week our family was struck with a house fire that destroyed everything.  Thankfully my teenage son was home and he made certain the babysitter who was in the shower heard the alarm and he made certain that she was safe and made it out of the house. He remained calm enough to leash the dogs, call the fire department, and make certain to stand in an area where the fire department would see him.  The whole family is alive, (3 children, 3 dogs, my husband and myself) but all of the belongings that we had are lost.

We are extremely grateful to have such wonderful people around us who have offered to help out.  Many have asked how.  This GoFundMe page is an option.

We know that many people have multiple other obligations and pressures this time of year.  As many people have asked, if you would like to give, any amount is greatly appreciated.

In addition, any good thoughts are appreciated.  And please, in your own lives, practice an attitude of gratitude.  The way we approach life is all about the attitude that is taken. 

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.” – Alphonse Karr
