GIVING THANKS

Mid-November in Eugene 

The trees are a little barer, the leaves are a little browner ….

but we still have some blue sky days  .. 

 

YARD FOREST HILLS NOV 2018-001

 

 and we still have some color.

 

YARD FOREST HILLS NOV 20181
 

We have new surroundings and each day brings surprises.  Last week, robins were everywhere we looked.   Maybe they think it is Spring again.  

     

FOREST HILLS WALK NOV 2018
 

I share the walking trails with a variety of flora and fauna. 

 

 

We are grateful for so much.

Thanksgiving Week and always.

    

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough and more.

It turns denial into acceptance,

Chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

It can turn a meal into a feast, 

A house into a home,

A stranger into a friend.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

Brings peace for today,

And creates a vision for tomorrow.

  1. Each day brings surprises.
    I have to work harder in order to attract positive ones.
    I continue to run, run and run.

  2. If it weren’t for the relentless cold not to mention lack of sun it still looks like Novmber here. Although the sun did make a cameo appearance this morning. The little snow we’ve had refused to stick, which is fine by me, I’m still putting away summer clothes. Done counting ballots In FL are they?

  3. Nice to see that you have some color. We are barren and brown! A lot of gray skies and dreary weather. Winter in Kentucky! Thanks for linking up today.

  4. Great shots—all. Love the froggie

  5. Pretty Autumn scenes. Maybe the Robins are saying Winter will be short, and Spring will be early!
