Life gave my family and me the most amazing days of Autumn and elementary pleasures. The abundance of colors and beauty made me want an extra pair of eyes. My heart was wide open, but still with no capacity to collect all the joy and overwhelming wonder running through my body.
I lost my mind in
the gentle whispers of the wind,
in the lake's aquarelles stamped with dancing leaves,
in the glorious sun sprinkling gold over the world,
in the ancient wisdom of the trees,
in the kindness of the earth,
in the laughter of my favorite people,
in the heady quietness of the afternoon,
in the warmth of the pie made with freshly picked apples,
in the humble Nature's reminder that there are a million reasons to be thankful...
I breathed in light
and breathed out love and gratitude.
It was Thanksgiving and we counted our blessings, from sunrise to sunset with every precious moment in between...
We had our little afternoon picnic in Ken Whillans Resource Area in Caledon, ON
I am giving thanks to all of you, who find time to "stop and smell the roses" with me.
You, dear friends, keep me inspired.
You, dear friends, keep me inspired.

MY DEAR FRIEND! HELLO!
ReplyDeleteYou know what? You dear Canadian friends are lucky to celebrate your thanksgiving while the leaves are still on the trees! By the time our Thanksgiving comes in November, our trees are barren of all the colors, HOWEVER, we give thanks even in the barren times! What a landscape, what décor! Fresh air, fresh beginnings! Much love to you and thank you for being faithful to coming to my blog. You are so gentle and lovely, and I wish you a happy day as we head toward the darker months.. Anita
