Preparing

Thanksgiving is on the horizon, although with our second snow storm underway, it could easily feel like deepest darkest winter.

I have decided to keep a notebook with me for the next two days and list all I have to be thankful for each day. I know the main list, of course, but I realize more and more that life is fleeting, unpredictable. It is the little things, the split seconds often, in which I find my greatest sources of joy, of comfort, of gratitude.

I'll post the list here in a few days, provided I still have power at home or have made it to New Jersey, which is the plan... maybe a few of you out there would like to try the same thing. It is all too easy to let our moments of challenge overwhelm our moments of thanksgiving.
