A quick note to let each of
you know how very grateful I am for you! The work you do, the way you
"show up" in your life, and for the many things I still do not know
about you. It is my hope this Thanksgiving season holds much love in your heart
as you take the time to notice the many blessings in your life. And, yes, even
the tough times can help you find blessings . . . if you will take the time to
look for them! I, for one, do not know what I would have done without the
support and love of people who stood by with through those times!
If you have not yet heard, this is the first
time in nearly 125 years that Hanukkah and Thanksgiving are on the same day.
They say it will be another 7,500 years before that will happen again. Now, are
we in a very "peculiar" time on this planet or what? Let's share in
each others joys and "challenges" as we
connect with our families and friends during this time of Thanksgiving. Here's
to full bellies, lots of laughs and the repetitive story telling of our
shenanigans as we gather with family and friends and really open our hearts to being our authentic selves! There truly is nothing like feeling loved unconditionally!

This morning as I awoke it occurred to me how richly abundant we are in this world. There are so many gifts put in front of us each day. The question that occurred to me was, "How many of us notice these gifts?" I will make this personal. Yesterday, a friend took me to the airport, dropped me off, and told me how grateful he/she was for me. After enjoying a few hours watching people hurry about the airport, I got on my flight, enjoyed being the only person on my row of seats, arrived at my destination at warp speed and had another friend pick me up, give me a hug and tell me "Welcome home!" Now how good does it get?
Sometimes I have to remind myself how blessed my life is. Oh, sure, there are situations that tug at my heart, make me crazy and brings tears to my eyes. However, that too, reminds me how richly abundant I am to have so many people and situations in my life that offers me the opportunity to really "feel"the full spectrum of emotions that being on this planet offers. Now, how abundant is that?

This morning I am reminded that clarity is always present; we just have to be patient until we can see it! The fog is thick this morning, Grandfather sun has not yet made his ascent. The skies are beginning to lighten, so I am reminded he's on his way.
Much like life, we cannot always "see" what's really happening. We can know the sun will appear, whether we can actually see it or not because we can feel it's presence. The air is warmer, animals are awake and moving around, birds are in flight and, in most cases, we are busy doing whatever we do during the day time. And, yet, some days Grandfather is hidden from our visible eye.
Life situations are mirrors of this natural order. While we can "feel" the uncertainty or consequence of a situation, we cannot always know how or why it is or has occurred, and this can lead to all sorts of emotional reactions and feelings.
There is much we can learn from nature about faith, trust and a calm abiding with life situations, if we will simply be still and find something beautiful in the moment. If we will take that action, we will remember, that whether we can "see" the solution, answer or reason it is there, given time, it will be resolved, made clear, or understood. All we must do is take a few moments to "look over our shoulder" and remember, that we have grown stronger, wiser, and more confident from our past experiences.
Clarity is there, we simply have to "occupy" until the fog is lifted and the beauty of the situation is revealed.
