October’s Gratitude
Remember the Future
It sounds odd to say ‘remember the future’. But odd becomes
LIBERATING
to say ‘remember, the future remains OPEN.
A Nation of Liberty
In a nation of liberty we live and enjoy living. An opportunity
to choose our leaders awaits. Opportunity abounds for each
of us to research and question and learn of those people who
would serve us.
Moments by moments we may go within to that quiet
center of all Truth, and pray, seek divine guidance, Know,
truly know our heart’s true choice.
Freedom, liberty, and opportunity to vote, .

All is still right with our world.
This Robin’s nest, held seven eggs last week. Now they’ve hatched,and their lives are flutters of the FANTASTIC all about our yard.
For the wonders of Nature, be Grateful.
Seven days of Wonder times two
Seven days of wonder times two as each of these nest’s occupants came to fly away.
The hatching was unremarkable but AMAZING! Then there was a frenzy of finding food, by both male and female parents and the energetic protection of the nests.
Each Robin became a Dive-Bomber of beak and claw and raucous language, upon the snooping squirrel, the raiding Blue-Jay, the cautious cats.
Then the flight lessons began……….In one week the nests were empty.
Friends, Barbecue, Laughter
What more is there? To see again good friends, after too long apart, conversation with their Oh So Sharp seven year old, good barbecue, many laughs.
Grateful for simple goodnesses.
An Embarrassment Spared. Stitches Not Needed. A Fix in a Time of Breakage.
Teachers
Remember to have Gratitude for all the teachers who have graced our lives.
The ones who taught us to make sense of our scrawls into a language, the ones who taught us to knit, or do algebra, or, or, or. The ones who made the Divine simple and understandable and recognizable.
Being Open to receive………….
Being open to receive is a form of grateful expectations realized.
A simple box of envelopes bought at a garage sale for half a dollar, secretly held seven dollars worth of beautiful stamps.
