A DAY FOR GIVING THANKS

A day for giving thanks, I wake today with gratitude in my heart for the many blessings of this past year.  Some of them didn’t feel like blessings at the time but with patience and hopefulness they eventually showed themselves to be of value to my journey.  Some of them seemed like huge blessings at the time and ended up not being as necessary as I had expected them to be.  Perhaps I am learning to be more receptive to the things I judge as curses.  With time, fortitude, tolerance, and an open mind usually these curses end up being defining moments that bless my life.
Today, I celebrate with gratitude the precious moments of this past year and the people who have companioned me through it all.  I will trust that those moments that don’t appear to be so precious right now will be transformed through the alchemy of time, forgiveness, and growing.
