IT’S THANKFUL THURSDAY…
And…..what are YOU thankful for today? I ask you to take some time during your busy day to reflect on those people, things, instances, moments, places, etc. that make you feel thankful and blessed! These things do not have to be earth-shattering …..sometimes, it is the smallest and simplest thing that someone does….or a time when you are just overwhelmed with a good feeling about something or someone in your life. Please share so I can print some of your lovely messages. At the end of today’s missive, I will print one of those thankful messages that has been sent to me.

FIONA MOLLOY IS THANKFUL…
Internationally known singer, Fiona Molloy sent me this very thoughtful message to share with you…..”I am thankful for the gift of life and the people I have met along the way. Whether or not my fellow travelers have left a positive or negative impact on my journey, each one of them has taught me something. I am grateful for my parents and grandparents…for the core values they so diligently instilled in me from early childhood….for my sisters, even though so far away, are close at heart. I am thankful for my husband’s laughter. He reminds me daily that humor is a necessary and welcome \part of the human experience. I am grateful for the beauty that is Key West and the Florida Keys…my Heaven on earth!”
And we are ever-thankful for Fiona Molloy, her gorgeous voice, her kindness, wisdom, and beauty.

By the way, my daily saying at the end of each missive that I send out, inspired Bruce to come up with a message to share with you….It is, “Always Appreciate…Always Admire!” Four words to think about!
IN MEMORIAM….
Today I ask you to take time to remember DENYS FITZPATRICK! We met Denys around Bobby Nesbitt’s piano at the Pier House 11 years ago. He was an elegant gentleman…always dressed to the nines…often in a white linen suit, with an ascot! He came alive when Bobby would invite him to sing. Will we ever forget his duets with his longtime friend, Larry Harvey? What a memory that is! We all loved listening to his many stories about his life on the stage and the famous people he hobnobbed with…people like Fannie Brice and the like. Denys was a true Key West Legend, and he is deeply missed! Today would have been his 100th Birthday!!!!
PERSIAN CAT NEEDS A GOOD HOME….
A gorgeous 1 1/2 year old Persian Cat, healthy, with all shots, fixed and furry strictly indoor cat, needs a home….This feline can be yours for FREE. If you are interested, call 304-0326. If you would like a picture of this beautiful cat, let me know and I will send it to you.
Love to YOU…and Remember….
You shouldn’t just go for looks…they can deceive. Don’t just go for wealth, because even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one who makes your heart smile!
