I am thankful for the warmth of the summer solstice
because a months rain has fallen in two days
and this makes me grateful for the sun
and its life giving energy.
:D
Too, I am thankful for my infant son's
hugs and my daughter's smile
they give an inner warmth
on the dankest day.

Abundant clear spring water, a fantastic early morning walk in the woods & a conversation with a hawk in a tree above me. Seriously, I don't speak hawkish but he certainly was talking to me & I was talking right back. I wonder if he speaks english..... :grin:

I am working away from home at the moment and I am thankful for the half descent phone system which just let me call my wonderful wife Helen, the sound of her voice lifts my week so much and makes me grateful for what I shall be returning to.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I give thanks for knowing when to honour my boundaries and say no, and for remembering that my integrity is more important that being liked.

I am grateful to have a comfortable and affordable home. I am grateful for friends and family, as far away as many of them are. I am grateful for the love and company of my pets. I am grateful to have a job that pays the bills.

I am thankful for:
Wood for the fire to keep me warm tonight;
The soup for dinner to keep me warm tonight;
A loving partner to share my bed to keep me warm tonight.

When the time comes
to know what to know
you find yourself
wondering when you
will find a way
to tell others
how to reach their
greatest goals
to be successful
to not give up
to know that the time
is coming when all
will be ok
and you will survive
that is given you
as long as you have
the often hidden
courage to move
forward endlessly
never stopping
never knowing
always wondering
if you will be.

It's a cool morning with a light mist.

I went to my customary spot at the riverside for introspection and meditation, greeted the spirits of each quarter, the earth, and the heavens. Walked along the river to observe water life, and walked up the bank to the paved walking path thoughtfully provided by my employer.

As I reached the path, everything just felt absolutely marvelous.

I am truly grateful for the experience.
May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you,
Guide your way on.

I am thankful for a lunchtime yoga lesson with a message that was a true breather, very nice for the afternoon in the office.

Thankful for being back home after two months and 15 flight connections worth of travel for work. Hoping I never have to do that again. :grin:

I'm thankful for the new artwork on my little Remo drum. A good friend has painted oak leaves and acorns on it, in a stunning design. Have to wait a few days to make sure the acrylics are dry, then I can pop it in my rucksack and head out a long walk and some drumming. My main Remo drum had an ash tree painted on it some time ago, so there is a definite tree theme going on here.
