My pace on the pathway is a bit slower today
than last year’s footfall.
But it matters not, for I am thankful
once again for the opportunity
generously gifted to me,
to walk alongside Mother Nature’s treasures,
her splendid magical moments
so very precious and sacred,
her bounty blessing me with each step.

So many times I’ve begged for
warm sunshine on my wintered face,
only to find myself begging for snow or rain
on a scorching August afternoon.

Somehow, I usually get what I need,
if not what I want.
And for this, I offer thanks
to the powers that be,
for allowing me to celebrate
another Thanksgiving Day.


***Happy Thanksgiving to everyone***

Lauren~

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

The secret to this season is not thankfulness for spectacular things, but rather for the simple.  You have captured the essence of the holiday.
