It is early yet, but the house sleeps, save for me. The dog, Dually is on the bed, keeping my side warm till I come to claim it. The wind rises and falls, like breath thru the trees, no moon this night. It is in this quiet time that I consider the coming holiday, Thanksgiving. There is much to be thankful for: loving and being loved; strength to overcome the struggles of life; beauty in the changing colors of the leaves; the good humor and deep friendship that I have with my buddy, Dee; memories both sweet and bittersweet; the healing grace of forgiveness.
these are the things that hold the greatest value to me. I have work for my hands; a roof over my head; reasonable good health, but I hold dearest, give my deepest thanks for having been loved and having wonderful people to show love to. What has worth is not what we can buy, but what we can give of ourselves.
Good morning, Sister! I like your post.
ReplyDeleteToday I choose to be happy for what I have instead of wanting what I don't need.
