Thanksgiving Gratitudes













Burned out fields near Pansy after the firestorm on 10/7/11

Some of the recent additions on my ever-growing list of gifts in my life......
  • Blonde ringlets trailing down a back
  • Possibilities
  • A friend who really listens
  • A young daughter's pride in "reading" her first book
  • Hydro workers who respond quickly
  • Protection of a home from strong winds
  • Pumpkin muffins made with fresh garden pumpkin
  • Firemen and RCMP who battle fierce fires while we sleep
  • Three kids excited to have a "sleepover" in the living room
  • Child's warm skin in the morning
  • Homemade pizza that turns out perfectly
  • Freshly bathed children
  • French lentil soup and freshly-baked savoury biscuits
  • Closed doors opening to new opportunities
  • Little girl meticulously straightening out her mama-made quilt
  • Hydro coming back on after a brief but stressful spell of no power in the barn
  • The sun casting warm fingers of light mixed with shadows all over the yard
  • First horse rides
Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving! May you recognize and appreciate all the good things in your life!


And don't forget to brush your teeth!
