To love and be loved
Hope in the face of even the bleakest of situations
Joy for the sake of joy – and for the bliss that one person’s happiness can bring to another’s life
The gift of good health, or if that is not possible, as little suffering as can be
A roof over your head and food on your table
Creativity and inspiration – may the muse never wander out of sight
Dreams to reach and new goals to aspire to
A song in your heart
Time spent with those nearest to you and the fond memories such moments foster
The ability to fall asleep with a reason to wake up smiling
Light to guide your way no matter how dark the hour
Security in whatever ways matter most to you
Friends to confide in, laugh with, hold dear
Endless blessings and reasons to give thanks

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving wonderful Canadians!
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica. That was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing that. I'm in the United States so we've got another month until our Thanksgiving. It is always nice to remember to be thankful for what we have. I think I grumble a lot and always see things as being half empty. It's nice to remember that I've got a lot to be grateful for. There are others who would kill to be in my shoes.
ReplyDeleteNobody needs anything more. Thanks for the warm wishes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you! I celebrated with my family last night - we even had our firepit going outside, it was lovely!
