giving thanks ....

so often, i find myself giving thanks for so many, for so much ... and yet, it feels like i don't say it, or even do it enough. i am grateful for so many lives in my life.


for so many hearts.



for instance :

these two. who in their right mind wouldn't thank the angels for these two on a daily basis? :)


this was taken today at my parents house. their incredibly gorgeous new (old) place they have. a 4,000 square foot loft in downtown. yum. 25 15 foot windows overlooking the city. exposed beam, exposed brick, and hard woods throughout. it is outstanding .... again, something i am so thankful for and don't say it enough..... it was my dad's former architectural office that they have residentialized to make a home. for the next year they will be living there, and then they will be building onto our home. again, a reason to be thankful.


and then there's the rest of "them"


thirteen people here - 26 hands. the hands that touch my heart in one way or another. everyday. they range in age from 7 - 67. they enrich my life, and make my heart happy. they make my heart sing.

what are you happy for today?

happy thanksgiving .... may your blessings be many, and not forgotten.

{cheers!}

Oh Karin, I love that photo with the hands! And I agree - our children fill up our hearts and give us such a profound and intense reason to be thankful. Oh, it's wonderful to have the opportunity to be so filled up (LOL, the pun is only partially intentional) with thanks for the bounty we have in our lives. :)

Happy (belated?) thanksgiving to you!
