Waxing Poetic


Thanksgiving. A holiday that heralds the season of fall. By now, we are coming to terms with the fact that yes indeed, winter is on its way and we begin to hunker down in earnest. Our thoughts turn to things we are thankful for and here is mine:

  • Friends. Casual friends, neighbourhood friends, work friends, friends from the past and friends who are there for you through thick and thin. Friends who make you laugh, think and challenge you in ways that help you grow. Friends who help you survive.
  • Talent. That which contribute to our unique perspective and make us different from everyone else and yet bring groups of people together who share talents in common. Talents that generate a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.
  • Abundance. Even when you think you have nothing, you turn around and discover you have abundance in your life if you look at things in terms of what is really important.
  • Perspective. Long term, short term...the ability to change and shift perspective when your paradigm needs re-evaluating.
  • Now. The only thing we really have. Everything else is mercurial and not to be assumed.
There you have it. The things I am thankful for. What is on your list?

Happy Thanksgiving Folks.

Happy Thanksgiving to You, Sweet Friend. I am thankful for many of the same things as you. Family and friends would be at the top of my list. Number Two would be the peaceful place we live in and the abundance that surrounds us. I am also thankful for the tools I have discovered in my Tool Box.
Thanks for sharing!
Love,
Myleta

My list changes everyday.
But to top things are definitly my family and GOOD girly friends. Then it falls on my luck for living where I do and having all that I have. Then it depends on what I am doing. These days it's the wonderful smells of fall...ah! And lastly but not meakly...the peace I have within (most days...).
God bless you for your wonderful entry of this post! You are so great!
