I am glad to be here; to have a go at it. I am thankful for my body. For eyes that see blue skies and my daughter’s beautiful face. For ears that hear birdsong, soulful breathtaking music and the simple but profound words; ” I love you.” For hands that write poems and plant seeds and make cheesecake. For a brain to take it all in.
I am thankful for friends and family…for LOVE ♥
For peace and understanding, patience and tolerance and for generous hearts and kind souls.
I am thankful for good people who do great things, for smiles and ice cream…for chocolate.
I am thankful for our fantastic planet. For apple trees and hummingbirds and summertime. For cats and mocha lattes with extra whipped cream. I am thankful for the scent of roses and a newly mowed lawn, for thunderstorms and fireplaces. For kisses and sandy beaches…for oceans and sunsets.
I am thankful for happy thoughts and good intentions, for opportunity and hope. For dreams and the tenacity to live them out.
I am thankful to be able to share all these happy things with such wonderful people…like YOU…
I am thankful I have another day of life in which to appreciate and to know that this is
THE KEY TO HAPPINESS
There have been times in my life I found myself waiting to be happy; waiting for this or that to happen. I’ve found that I don’t need a turkey to tell me to be grateful and everything doesn’t have to be perfect. There is so much in this incredible world to be thankful for…and I am thankful for that.
What are You thankful for? Let me know?
