Thanksgiving Day 2019


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.
-Jennifer Graser

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!
