I am Thanksgiving

I am sorry for the delay between postings but we are finally getting up and going. Somehow I ran out of time for making Thanksgiving cards but I promise to post one later on. Besides every day is for giving thanks...eh? As I always say...so many card ideas...so little time.

I did find this beautiful poem that I hope will suffice for this wonderful day of thanks. It was written by The Richards Group in Dallas, TX.

I am Thanksgiving..
A respite from worries.
A recognition of well being.
A reflection on what's truly important.

I am Thanksgiving..
I am a proud history remembered.
The courage of our founders.
The foresight of our fathers.
The spirit of our families.
I am a reminder that we owe our present to our past.
And I am a committment to repay that debt with gratitude.

I am Thanksgiving..
I am more than a holiday.
I am a gathering of memories.
A reunion of reasons to celebrate.
I am stories passed around the table.
Extra helpings of contentment.
A feast for the soul.

I am Thanksgiving..
I am perspective.
A moment to take stock.
To look back with genuine appreciation.
And look forward with bountiful optimism.
I am trouble forgotten.
Blessings counted.
Life cherished.
I am freedom celebrated.
I am love shared.
I am thanks given.

I am Thanksgiving.
