GIVING THANKS DAY

karenringalls15 Comments

I have always thought our national holiday should be called “Giving Thanks” day.

Here are my top ten thanks for this year:

  • My health…at 83, I’m on just 2 pills.
  • My friends…who surround me with love
  • My home…has remained safe despite hurricanes.
  • My garden is small but gives me great happiness
  • Greeting cards…so many cards expressing love and support.
  • Medical personnel…provided outstanding care to my husband and me.
  • Family…supportive, helpful, loving
  • Husband…love, love, and more love that is everlasting
  • God…guidance, support, understanding, and LOVE.

May this day of Giving Thanks (Thanksgiving) be one of family, friends, joy, and LOVE.

GIVING THANKS DAY

My Tanka poem about thankfulness.

  A hand reaches out
A mystical light surrounds
One's heart soars with love
Touching, embracing, filling
Lifting, teaching,and guiding.

For me, this day is about “Giving Thanks Day” rather than Thanksgiving Day. Today, I celebrate my family, friends, acquaintances, physicians, nurses, teachers, and even strangers, who have touched my life. I give thanks to each who has been with me on my path: leading, following, lifting, encouraging, and helping me. To each of you who read and follow my blogs, “thank you”.

Let’s give thanks at every opportunity, every day.
