Today, Christmas Day, I spent the day with my immediate family and then we went over to my brothers house to spend dinner with extended family. The house was loud with kids running and playing and there was a lot of talking and laughing throughout the evening. A perfect Christmas evening. Then while my husband drove us home I quickly checked my blackberry and facebook. I read a status update that said an acquaintance was having a terrible day and had spent the last 5 hours alone because someone forgot to pick her up for dinner. My heart went out to her and I realized in that instant that I truly am blessed.
