Giving Thanks

This
moment
I'm grateful
for all the people
in my life, 
both present now
and gone.
I am grateful 
for the experiences I've had 
both dark and bright
that have led me to
this moment.  


This is my contribution to a great project called the Gratitude quilt.  Laura Hegfield started this annual project in 2009 to express her thanks for all the good in her life inspite of the challenges of illness.  You can read the full story on her blog  Shine the Divine.

  2. Mary,

    This is a great idea, which prompts us to simply reflect on our luck and joys in life, while we might otherwise only dwell on the difficulties.
    A really practical idea to share living moments...

    1. Yes, I thought so too Eileen. Next year I'll try to put something up earlier and link it so people can have a chance to join.
