Grateful

Happy Thanksgiving!













..... just a little puttering in the yard .....

This is the day for giving thanks,
for recognizing those things
that we tend to take for granted,
usually because we're busy with the details of life
 




Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 
It turns what we have into enough, and more. 
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. 
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. 
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today
and creates a vision for tomorrow.        ~Melody Beattie


 
While i am grateful, and thankful, 
for the same things as most other folks 
such as family and a home,
I'm also thankful for you, 
my friends i have here.
This has been the beginning 
of something very special to me.
Thank you for allowing me to share it with you.





















As the sun was going down, it peeked into my window, 
and i tried to capture the feel of the waning sun's golden hue.
