Today......

I will take in the smiles of my children and their friends and appreciate the joy they bring to my life.

I will enjoy the laughter of others and know that joy is one of lifes sustaining forces

I will remember my ancestors and pay tribute to my heritage and honor where I came from.

I will revel in the overload on my senses of aromas and flavors of the season. Fresh Turkey and nutmeg and allspice.

I will appreciate the amazing friends I have who are also like family, for family is not just about blood but heart. 

I will cherish my life, for all it has been and is yet to be.

I will chose to see the blessings all around me, and the world as it, in all its remarkable glory.

I will acknowledge that there are things greater than I can even imagine, driving us forward, directing our paths

I will trust my instincts and my heart in all I do, and all I say.

I will rest easy and be THANKFUL for the good and the bad, because they shape my world and wisdom

I will give THANKSGIVING for waking up, taking a breath, opening my eyes, and the gift of another day.
