Open the day
with thanks as you shrug back the curtains
into the view.
Stop for a moment, remain.
Peel
back the layers of thanksgiving:
1. everything beautiful in your past to be
grateful for.
Delve
deeper and you find:
2.
the
painful things that have shaped your life for
good.
Go
into a new layer and you find:
3.
the small,
seemingly insignificant things that make a difference.
Deeper
again, peel off another layer:
4.
gratitude
for the present moment.
Then
you become thankful for:
5.
the
patience you learn through irritations.
6.
the
challenging people who teach you to love and
forgive.
7.
the big
things you often take for granted.
Then
you discover thanks for:
8.
the best
that is yet to come.
The
emotion of gratitude takes over
and
you realize the layers won’t ever stop, because at the ever-unveiling
heart of thanksgiving you find, something invaluable:
9.
the spirit
of contentment.

The day was spectacular on Thanksgiving and we soaked up the sun with some tickets we had bid on at an auction this fall to go to the Space Needle. It was the perfect day for it!
