Day Spa Official Grand Opening

My daughter's new day spa will "officially" open today with a ribbon cutting at 11:30 this morning with the local Chamber of Commerce. We have worked very hard this week getting everything ready and I think we're almost there. I have to go cut up some fruit and veggies and load and transport those and the punch base and ginger ale and the CAKE - which is beautiful. I'll go work on the fruit and veggies in a moment and I will have to run get some ice to keep the punch cold, but I'll be ready on time, I think.

My mother's oldest living sister went to be with the Lord last night. She'd battled cancer twice but most recently had pneumonia. Though prepared and as ready as it is possible to be for her death, I'm sure this is a tough day for her family. I remember waking up after my 2 or so hours of sleep the night after my dad died and thinking, "Today is the first day of my life without my dad in the world." I survived, but those were dark days.

Please tell someone today that you appreciate them for who they are in your life. Have a great day and remember Who gave it to you!
