Thanksgiving

[avad]

Happy Thanksgiving All. I give thanks for you. These connections far and wide have become so SO meaningful to me.
My friends, you inspire and support and add such richness to my life. I feel so priviledged to even just listen in on you being you.
*countless hugs of blessings and gratitude and love*
I really do love you.
Feel it.

Below passed on from dear friend minorsecond's journal. So beautiful.

First Steps of the Day

As I take my first step,
My foot kisses the floor.
With gratitude to the earth,
I walk in liberation
-- Andrew Weiss


Thanksgiving Prayer

---Samuel F. Pugh

"O God, when I have food,

help me to remember the hungry;

When I have work,

help me to remember the jobless;

When I have a home,

help me to remember those who have no home at all;

When I am without pain,

help me to remember those who suffer,

And remembering,

help me to destroy my complacency;

bestir my compassion,

and be concerned enough to help;

By word and deed,

those who cry out for what we take for granted.

Amen."
