BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
I invite you to come and join me on this pilgrimage to change the world through thankfulness. Perhaps if enough of us join together we can change the negative climate that exists and is overtaking our planet. Together we can move our fellow citizens of to a better, higher and finer place.
At the end of the post you will find a link up frog and I hope you will join me on this venture and once a week write a post and link up to others and share what you are thankful for this week.
I had very many things to be thankful for this past week.
MY VERY DEAR FRIEND FRAN COMPLETED HER TREATMENT FOR CANCER.
I AM SO THANKFUL THAT IN ADDITION TO BEING A WONDERFUL HUSBAND, I AM MARRIED TO A VERY CARING PHYSICIAN.
MY DEAR FRIEND KIM INVITED US TO USE HER SEA ISLE CITY BEACH HOME
AND WE WERE GREETED BY THIS RAINBOW.
I hope that by writing these posts that we will move together beyond thankfulness into appreciation. Because appreciation for the moments and things for which we give thanks requires us to be mindful of our lives. “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
― Marcel Proust
