Six Word Friday's: Smooth as Glass

Reflection pools are some of my favorite 

places to sit. Especially when they

are as "smooth as glass." Time 

disappears as I drift off into 

the reflection. I see Mirror images
of things. I see another reflection.

A reflection of me. Thoughts emerge
about my life... where I've been, 
where I'm at, where I'm going.

Peace, tranquility, and gratitude fill my 

mind as I reflect upon blessings.
Blessings of Family. Health. Shelter. Food. 
Faith. Love. My heart is thankful!

Thankful Notes

Writing thankful notes for Thanksgiving has become a treasured tradition at our house.

Before the kids arrive, I place slips of paper and pens out for them to write down things they are thankful for or blessings that have come into their lives that they want to share with the family.

Later in the evening, after Thanksgiving dinner has settled, we all gather around the kitchen table, eat pie, and share our thankful notes with each other. The youngest grandchild to the oldest adult participates. All twenty eight of us! This tradition has brought our family closer together. It provides the perfect setting for each of us to reflect on the past year and the opportunity to count our blessings! 

In each family member's thankful note, FAMILY is always the first thing on the list. Love and appreciation for one another are common themes running through the notes. 

Is it any wonder that Thanksgiving is a time for family gatherings and giving thanks for our bounteous blessings and harvest! Creating memories and traditions binds families together across all generations.

Quotography: November

The first day of November brought cold temperatures, howling wind, and pounding rain. It was a good day to snuggle up in a blanket, read a good book, and drink hot chocolate! 

Our beautiful, warm Autumn days have come to an end.
