Days of Thanksgiving

ORNAMENTAL CABBAGES

IN

OHIO

Oh these were lovely and brought back memories of when I used to plant these in Northern VA,

so bright and beautiful they were!

Good morning warriors

of

gentle spritit

as we near the days of

THANKSGIVING

where turkeys are trotting

and

the grocerery stores are filled with

folks rushing to

lay claim on the most perfect bird and trimmings

for that special feast

in homes across our lands.

><

I'm being told

one should hurry to get to the store

as

not only are the turkey's being "picked and plucked"

over

but the temperments of the shoppers

are being

"picked and plucked"

as well!

AHHH

Thanksgiving

and

already we've been seeing the ads of

CHRISTMAS

AS

I wandered through the lobby of the hotel

looking for the gift shop to grab a

Postcard for the

Pulaski Health & Rehab

I fell into those most beautiful Trees!

You can send your postcards to the above,

perhaps they will just be delighted to see the sights

and be able to be entertained by stories into

Thanksgiving, Christmas and

THE NEW YEAR!

><

As we rush, rumble, trot

it seems we keep forgetting to

STOP

embrace the moment

and

give

THANKS

for just the day, the moment, the breath we take

and the very moment we are with each other

with ourselves

and

make the most of the day we've been given!

As we now are entering

this time of Thanksgiving

I hope you are finding ways

to enjoy it,

really enjoy it.

Finding time to embrace it for its meaning of

"thankfulness".

Perhaps you can do that prior to getting out of your car

at the grocery store

cos' it seems once inside and getting one of those carts

"all bets are off",

as kind folks just seem to

lose their minds

and

then take to the isles like Andretti

and

zoom all over each other without a smile, a kind word

or

humor!

Just imagine

while out there fighting over that bird

if you could take the time

to smile, to laugh, to relax

in yourself!

OR

visualize all those turkeys just getting up from the section they are in

and running through the store and right out the front doors!

><

If that doesn't bring a smile,

pull that cart over to the side for a moment or two

and

just

"watch"

really watch the faces of those out there engaged in the shopping

and

remind yourself

you too are one of them!

Do you really intend to be that serious over

grocery shopping?

We're in the Fall of 2011

and

before you know it

the holidays will be gone

Winter will be settled in of these dark months!

GET OUT

and

let the sun warm your face

and

OUTSHINE THE SUN

with an attitude

of

gratitude

and

give

THANKS

for the day

for those that you love

and

those that love YOU

and

all that you are blessed to know

and

be!

Thanksgiving

a time to be present in your lives

and

to be thankful

to be mindful

of all that has ever been

all

that is

and

hopefully all that is to come!

STOMP

Prayers on the wind today for all who enter here

and

those precious folks

that need us to walk with them

along a journey that is sometimes

dark, sometimes scary

and

sometimes

one that is walked easier with warriors beside them...

We are here;

we are warriors of gentle spirit

and

we are with you! 

As we express our gratitude, during this Thanksgiving and during each day,

it allows us to be mindful

it gives us the wonderful opportunity to experience

grace in being

thankful

for our

Ancestors,

for our present

and

to be hopeful

for all that is to come

and

it allows us

to

say

"thank you".

When I count my many many reasons to be thank-ful

I count the warriors of this page,

I am grateful

for each of you; your spirit, your kindness

and

because you are here.
