It is also a time where you can reflect on your blessings and be filled with thankfulness.
Today the sky was a bluey grey and sometimes rain fell in sheets. Other times the sun shone through and illuminated everything. Every rain drop shimmered especially beautifully. The leaves are beginning to turn crimson and mustard yellow and that beautiful burn orange and grass is green again. Everything is giving that glorious last show before Winter sets in.
I got up and went grocery shopping at eight in the morning because I knew that the stores would be unbearable today. I felt fragile while there. I saw a girl who inspired me the other day as she walked down the street looking so beautiful. I was driving my van. It was full of garbage and I was unshowered and wearing such ugly clothes. She looked so pretty and I was feeling so low. So ugly. So tired. I went home and showered and put on nice clothes and it was because of her. So I tried to tell her about it in the store but I just started crying.
It was a relief to get home and get the groceries put away and focus on my sister and her birthday. She turned thirty three today. This year her husband was desperately sick and dying and now he is so much better. She has a beautiful baby and there is just so much to be thankful for. We celebrated her and that was lovely.
Life is a mess you know. A mess that is sometimes beautiful and sometimes ugly. Each life is ones own. However in almost everyone's life there are others who make life better and more worth while. There are people that we give our love to. This weekend as I feel a bit fragile I am trying to sort this out; my intentions in my relationships, my hopes for the future, and my thankfulness for today.
I hope your weekend, where you live, is lovely. If you wish, take some time to reflect and be thankful and let the thankfulness bring you peace and fullness as it is meant to do,
There is life in thanks giving.
Love Tansy
