Giving Thanks

Gratitude is the heart’s memory– French Proverb

We can go through life quite quickly without really realizing how much we have.  Despite our failures in recognizing our blessings, life often gives us several chances to make things right.   

Thanksgiving comes once a year, but it’s a day we should consider having more often.  All the good food aside, there’s the merriment of friendship, of telling someone we love them, of catching sight of one of our animals sleeping peacefully after stuffing themselves with leftover turkey a human was kind of enough to let fall to the floor.

I am like most people.  Way too busy.   But today, I promise to stop long enough and take in the world around me.    May you also have a moment to pause.  You are worth the effort.  Happy Thanksgiving from Merlin’s Garden.
