Thousands of blessings

It's my favorite holiday again.

Time to say thank you.


Thank God for morning, for blue skies, and autumn sunshine.
The clouds blow away, along with the bad dreams.


Oh the pleasure of counting our blessings! 

Blessings shining and abundant as the glowing birch trees along the river bank.


 Yes, there's adversity.
But there's also joy and peace and abundance.

Time for looking at leaves blowing in the wind
and the smile of the three year old next door.


This is the week for noticing, for saying thank you, for gratitude for the million and one gifts we've been given.


Blessings more uncountable than the leaves fluttering on the birches...


Hope.
Love.
Gratitude.


May they all be yours in abundance this Thanksgiving.
