Thanksgiving

 Gratitude is riches and complaint is poverty.   Doris Day

I choose riches. I am surrounded by abundance. I delight in the opulence of nature, the plentifulness of all my needs being met, the lushness of life.

Today in the US, we celebrate a day set aside for giving thanks for the harvest of goodness in our lives. I am gratefully reminded that my desire is to do so every day. On sunny days, I’m grateful for the warmth. On cloudy days, I’m grateful for the invitation to go within. Every day, I am thankful for family and friends. I may live alone, but I need never be lonely. I am happy in my own company.

I enjoy a plenitude of needs being met: I have good food with which to nourish my body and yummy treats to simply enjoy; my home is safe and cozy; I have the kinds of creature comforts which allow me to simply be in the moment.

Today is a special day set aside for giving thanks. May we all remember every day to find our joy where we are, and to thank the Love which surrounds and enfolds us for every little—and big—thing.
