― Maya Angelou, Celebrations: Rituals of Peace and Prayer
...it comes without fail each year...we bake/cook, we travel, we kiss/hug, we laugh and tell stories, we watch football and we may even play games, & we eat and then when it's all said and done we eat again...& maybe eat again...
...as we go through the motions of thanksgiving this year; a moment hits us...not of what we can eat next or what deal we can score tomorrow...not of what we need to accomplish at work next week or what big plans we have for the weekend but a moment where are heart is content and filled with a feeling of gratitude...& maybe that gratitude is for a full and satisfied belly or the fact that we have a few days off...or maybe it's for that moment where you were greeted with a hug or a kiss, or you were able to catch up with some old friends or family whose faces you don't see ever so often...maybe it's because you are surrounded by those that you love and for that moment the gratitude is in being & nothing else...no matter the reason, the moment is there for us to look up, to pause from it all and say thank you God, for the blessings, for the moments that you placed in my life...especially this very moment you created right now...
my moment is now and my heart grateful...happy thanksgiving...
p.s happy birthday 8th birthday lucia...wishing you all of today & many more...my heart is forever thankful for YOU!!!“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
