Yesterday, I walked out into a darker-than-usual sky. Fresh leaves were strewn across the lawn and tucked away in the corners of my car. I quickly dashed for the inside of my car as the rain continued to flow and an unusual coolness was felt. I paused to enjoy a slow-down moment not because it is National Gratitude Month but because it is uplifting to be one with nature and the beauty of the Earth. Ralph Waldo Emerson offered a touch of uplifting gratitude.
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."
With Thanksgiving almost here, the cookies baked for this weekend's Friendsgiving, and my little grandgirls visiting on Sunday, I feel blessed beyond measure. My house is ready to give thanks as is nature.
Mary Lee Hahn invited poets to write a #haikuforhealing. Since our mixed-up world, needs healing on many fronts I decided to join in. My thoughts begin with autumn sharing its last breath.
Thanks for the autumnal beauty, Carol. Your poems provided a calming moment of reflection. I am grateful for your nature loving spirit!
ReplyDeleteJama, thank yu for the generous comments. When I am in doubt, I find nature soothing.
DeleteI feel we are all tied together with your 'heartstrings", Carol! It's truly a comfort! Have a lovely time at your "Friendsgiving"!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am preparing my giant cookie platter for tonight's Friendsgiving. It feels wonderful to offer others a taste of the season. Enjoy your weekend. The sun is shiny so that puts a positive spin on the day.

ReplyDeleteI have been baking all week to offer a bounty of seasonal cookies, Karen. As soon as my PT heard I was baking, he gave me the heads up to bring the team some. Why not? I am grateful for all those who are helping me through my recuperation time.
DeleteBeautiful, Carol! Now that you say it, I am excited for Winter's breath to swirl in!
ReplyDeleteTracey, here in VA winter's breath already swooshed through and we were all surprised after record heat. Nature is always finding ways to liven each day.
DeleteI love this. It is so autumnmy. I am excited for the change of seasons that will arrive next month.
ReplyDeleteJone, now that I am in VA, I dream of a snow day and rely on my photos from NY. November trees are shaking in the breeze so I am not sure if we should call today a pre-winter chill or not. Enjoy the weekend.
Delete"winter's breath" is beautiful--though I am not a fan of cold weather. Lovely fall poems.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like winter's breath today, Marcie. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteGreat images of leaves standing still and then winter's breath swirling in. Thank you!
