I M Perfect lady

It is Thanksgiving, and many of us may be giving up our traditional Thanksgivings, in hopes of lessening the spread of Covid.

As I thought of so many feeling disheartened by the lack of normality, it came to me that there are many whose Thanksgivings will never be the same – again.

We are being asked to pause.

We are not being asked to NEVER.

If we can remember, that for many of us, our loved ones are still here, and there is a potential of another gathering.  We can take a pause and do something non-traditional this year.  We can breathe in that we are being responsible. We are doing this – so to spare another – a Never.

Also, there are many of us out here who have had non-traditional holidays, due to estrangement.

We have selectively chosen to redefine what holidays mean.

So, on this 2020 Thanksgiving, I hope that we can feel love.

Even if it is from afar.

Love with the potential of many future gatherings.

I feel hope, that when we all gather again, we will feel deep gratitude at the simple things. 

This is a moment in time.

A page in a chapter.

Take the time to feel even the simple joys that are present today.

It is easy to fall into what we can't do, and fail to see what we can do.

Do something today that makes your heart sing.

Being thankful you can.

Seeing these rocks light up last night – was the perfect start to Thanksgiving.
