HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2019
I feel that this is a day to pause, to be still, and to reflect upon all that we have to be thankful for. It seems it should be much more than an enormous feast and watching a football game or two.
Our minds are amazing. However, from one nano second to the next nano second, our minds can only focus upon one thing, upon the one moment, that moment we call The Present.
If we can focus our mind upon what is good, upon all that we have, and all that we have to be thankful for, then that positive focus can greatly assist us to continue to have a positive outlook during our day.
Count your blessings instead of your crosses,
Count your gains instead of your losses,
Count your joys instead of your woes,
Count your friends instead of your foes,
Count your smiles instead of your tears,
Count your courage instead of your fears,
Count your full years instead of your lean,
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean,
Count your health instead of your wealth,
Count on God instead of yourself.

Message after message in each line of this poem .. and how appropriate for Thanksgiving. You never cease to amaze me with what you have to share with all of us. Gratefully and with love, Patti
ReplyDeleteThank You My Dear One. I amaze myself to be honest. Something far FAR greater than I am is helping me along the road. Hard to fathom but there you have it. I just sit down and begin. All I knew when I began was that I wanted this to be contemplative in nature. Happy You Like It. Much Love .. Cap
DeleteCap & Patti, Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day. Best wishes, Gordy
ReplyDeleteThank You So Very Much Gord. We've so much to be so thankful for. Cap and Patti
DeleteI struggle to do the things on that beautiful list. I know I will benefit if I do. Practice makes perfect. I have much more time to do that now that I'm retired.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
The Gratitude list will take care of itself. As to retirement, give it a little time and soon you'll think, "How did I have time to work?". Thanks so much for your comment. Smiles from Cap and from Patti.
