Quilt

A Ball Aerospace employee, who I've known for years, but haven't seen in a long time, came to the house the other night. Turns out she lives just a few blocks away. She makes quilts for cancer patients. The cancer center has many quilts that have been made specifically for the comfort of patients as they get their treatments.

She made me a roughly 18x18-in. quilt showing stars representing all of the support from friends, family, and coworkers. It has one star depicting me reaching up for all the good wishes.

It was so unexpected to see her and I was so moved that she would do that for me. It reminds me of all of the good people there are in my life and all the nice things that come my way.

Take the time to think about the good things that happen every day.

What a wonderful gift! And so appropriate that she chose stars to represent both you and those supporting you with love and prayers.

You ARE a star!
