Thankful

I’m thankful
For the provisions I call mine
That nourish me 
And help me grow
Every moment of my life
I’m thankful
For the present of being
Of living and breathing
The good life I’m given
I’m thankful
For the past that shaped me
Throughout the journey 
Sometimes I stumbled
Sometimes I fell. 
Sometimes I made a U-turn
But somehow
Someone must have helped me
Get up and keep going
In the right direction
Something imperceptible
Even invisible
Pulled me through 
Each time
That’s the mystery of life
I’m thankful
For the future that looks bright
Because I know 
Despite the intermittent setbacks
Better time is nigh
My spirit is high
My angels will be in my arms
In no time
And I will shout
Hallelujah
Thank you for the wonders
Of Life

100-word of Giving Thanks

I am seeing the grandchildren the day after Thanksgiving. They are a blessing for which I give thanks. I give thanks for the people in my life, the joy and laughter we share, and the tears we shed for love. Though I have not been able to bend my knee for two weeks, I am thankful. God provides. Life is good. My heart is content. I hope to live my life to the fullest, to have passion, to give, to receive, to love, to heal, to dance, to write, to sing, to move – with others as well as by myself.
