Thankfulness

Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 28, 2013

Today I am thankful for so much:

My husband-confidant, best friend, soul mate

            and the strength that sustains me.

My family-each and every one of them,

            near and far and dear to me beyond measure.           

My friends-who constantly touch my heart

            and nurture my soul-always precious to me.

My departed family and friends-their spirits are with me

            constantly in memory and love.

My kitten-who entertains me with his antics and

            gives me laughter each and every day.

My health-feeling better than ever and grateful

            for having only the little aches and pains of old age.

My home-and the magic it provides traveling

            wide and far.

My job-for the fun and financial security

it brings to us.

My hobbies that provide me with an avenue for creativity

            and joy.

My age and the wisdom it has yielded along with

            the willingness to accept the things I cannot change.

My beautiful world that God shares with me daily

in so many ways from sunrises to sunsets,

flowers, beaches, mountains, trees, birds, and

more than I can list.

I wish you these blessings too and more

as we all make our way down this road of life.

Know that you are always in my heart, often on my mind

and I will love you forever; I will love you for always.

As long as I’m living, as long as I breathe,

YOU are special beyond measure to me.
