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.

As an expression of my deep gratitude on this Thanksgiving weekend I would like to thank you so much for reading! I appreciate your support and encouragement. It means a lot to me.
My beloved family and friends, may we continue to stick together through it all.
I am eternally grateful for words, books, music, art, nature, bird songs, simplicity, deep conversation, hugs, understanding, laughter, autumn, spring, summer and winter, dragonflies, lime green, margaritas, fresh garden tomatoes, cheesecake, freedom, adversity, diversity, challenges, lip balm, nature with all its glory and forever learning.
Thankfulness can be found in opportunities, possibilities, the universe, amazement, mystery, wonder, awareness, meaning, symbolism, grace, memories, open hearts, open minds and love.
I'm so glad for Google, walking, exploring, wifi, good health, peace of mind, free will, beauty, curiosity, imperfection, mornitude, silence, solitude, lobster rolls, clean water, fresh air, choices, warm fuzzy socks, time, life lessons, life itself and this very moment.
As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness...just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it...just warmth and shelter and home folks...just plain food that gives us strength...the bright sunshine on a cold day and a cool breeze when the day is warm.
