The 1st of November is All Saints Day. And, at the end of the 305th day of 2017, I sit here at my computer thankful and feeling blessed by all the saints in my life. From my grandparents (Aaron, Ann, Nettie, Saul, Amelia, and Paul) to those at work (Lu, Frank, Peter, Sondra, Michael) to those from Church (Peter, Jeanne, Lois, Carl) to those in my community (Tyler, Ed, Michelle, Tommie) to those not mentioned here but present in my heart, all of these saints have advised me, loved me, made me laugh, educated me, mentored me, and added to my life in so, so many ways. I am inspired to never let those memories fade. I am inspired to live life to honor their wishes and their values. And I am inspired not to be sad, but to be joyous for their lives and the love they gave. This is why I am picking this song today to express this joy.
