Gratitude is the cure-all – that’s what I have realized

Today I was sitting outside crying about how next year I would have to take my birthday cake to the cemetery (I always save some birthday cake for Gerda and everybody at the office and on her birthday she bought me an entire cake – the cake-swap was our tradition) until I realized she lived 51 whole years lots of happy memories and I was sad that we wouldn’t make new ones I mean it is sad but we also had great moments full of love and laughter I’m going to focus on that and be grateful
