Thankfulness

A surprise early evening. My neighbor called and asked if she would be home. She replied "yes".

Callie is barking as the car drives down the long gravel drive.

Grandparents and two little boys step out of the car. They are singing a Christmas carol as they come through the door. Another song and a beautifully wrapped gift is handed to her. They warmed her heart.

Earlier in the day she received an email from someone that she admires so very much. Her writing and her images are beyond description. In the past there was a post she commented on, it touched her heart deeply. One Woman is receiving something special in the mail.

This morning she read something that started her day in a special way.

She must remember.......

bow deeply to the day
and embrace what
it is telling you -
this is all there is

Have a good day. One Woman has some quick errands before the rain starts in. She must remember to breathe, smile and walk slowly.

Tabor, thank you. I did not go shopping. Misty rain and cold.
I can wait. Also they say my small town is full of the flu!!!
Everytime I read this post I change words. My daughter is always scolding me. I do eveything so rapidly. Should edit more!!!
