Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving:  an expression of gratitude, especially to God.

"For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter

of the night,

For health and food,

for love and friends,

For everything thy goodness sends"

-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

  

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, that will be enough"

-Meister Eckhart, Dominican Theologian and Preacher (1260-1328)

I am thankful for life itself, and a spirit that stays strong and joyful in good times and in bad.  I am thankful for family and friends, both old and new who listen and share, comfort, lend a hand and make me laugh.  I am especially thankful to those no longer here, who's lives made a difference in mine.  Much love to everyone this Thanksgiving.

Thank you Darren, for the beautiful Autumn bouquet!
