~ Thanks To Give ~
Friends and family gather
warm embraces joyfully exchanged.
Aroma of toasted spices fill the soul
in symphony of candlelight glow,
as traditions continue
with each passing year -
a beckoning light of homecoming.
Laughter; silent perception;
heartfelt gratitude-
inexpressible.
Nourishment of comfort
replenishes sensations nearly forgotten -
though just a moment in fleeting. . .
though just a moment in fleeting. . .
once again reunited
within the depths and
every fiber of being.
To everything I give thanks-
to all that has
to all that has
been bestowed upon my soul from before time.
In this haven, I discover my very being.

As many of you know - Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday of the year.
Not only is it the BEST food - EVER ... and the smells are beyond amazing filling every inch of
the air, drifting its way right into your soul ...
but it is also the blessing of gathering at a table of thanks
with family and friends - without having to exchange gifts, as Christmas does.
It is the chance to express one to another your gratitudes
and to feel of each other's as theirs fills your heart as well.
Here's to your best Thanksgiving yet.
May your heart always posses an attitude of gratitude - all year long.
♥
And of course a beautiful melody!
"We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way."
~Author Unknown
"To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,
to enact gratitude is generous and noble,
but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven."
~Johannes A. Gaertner
:A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue,
but the parent of all the other virtues.
~Cicero
"God has two dwellings;
one in heaven,
and the other in a meek and thankful heart."
~Izaak Walton
