HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We’re often so taken up with the affairs of the present that we hardly have time to give thanks for blessings of the past. On this Thanksgivings day my heart is overflowing with gratitude and thankfulness for precious moments shared with dear family these past few days in Florida… I am grateful and blessed by so much, by so many, by so little too… grateful for all the little things! There are way too many of these to count!

I must also give thanks for you—the spectators of my life, the friends, the companions of my days... May you all be blessed with all things good... AND

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Nonostante in italia non si festeggi il giorno del Ringraziamento, io ed alcune amiche abbiamo deciso di ringraziare per tutte le cose belle che la vita ci dà. Grazie a tutto e tutti. Antonia

Oh, Cielo,
I am so happy you were with your family this week. I'm sure the days were sweet. Love your elegant table... Beautiful! The poem was cute.

It has been a true joy to be a part of your audience... I feel as if we have been friends a long time... Part of the magic I have always felt feels validated when I read your comments and lovely, lyrical posts. You have the touch, my dear.... With words, with gardens, and with the spirit... Hugs from Missouri.
