Gratitude

Gratitude

Gratitude seems to sum up this image. As I pulled the blinds on the window next to my computer desk, this beautiful red rose caught my eye.

The Zinnias (which had invaded its territory) have completely succumbed to the cold weather, but still provide a neutral background for this bloom — blooming as if on cue with the fab metal sign I purchase in Taos, NM. I was grateful for the stem of red rose blooms I was able to cut and place in my bud vase on my desk — despite it being 30-something degrees outside!

So, what are you thankful for? Thanksgiving is a word of action … (Feel free to post your responses here!)

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~Thornton Wilder
