life stories: offering thanks

for morning light gracing the kitchen window, i give thanks.

for gardenias in october, i give thanks.

for pumpkins carried to be carved or painted, i give thanks.

for imagination and excitement over the fall leaves, i give thanks.

for hands touching the water after the rain, i give thanks.

for jumps, splashes, and giggles in the puddles, i give thanks.

for the feel of the earth and the art of fingers at play, i give thanks.

for the hands that hold mine, i give thanks.

and for the hands i hold, i give thanks.

my heart is full, thankful, and warm to the light. may the light that enters your kitchen window fill your home with good energy & warmth. may the light of sweet eyes, smiles, and hearts be given to you this day, offering a moment's peace and comfort during still moments that need that touch. peace, sister. peace, brother. peace.
