” November comes
and November goes,
with the last red berries
and the first white snows.
with night coming early,
and dawn coming late,
and ice in the bucket
and frost by the gate.
the fires burn
and the kettles sing,
and earth sinks to rest
until next spring.”
Clyde Watson
It’s unbelievable November is almost gone and we’re heading to the last month of this year. It was a month filled with days of gratitude; gradually filling my notebook with one thousand gifts. I try to write in it every day and to look for blessings in the smallest and even hard things. A month in which I had to learn to accept my limits and that tough days are part of life.
Let us, even on these gray November days, try to look for that little golden sparkle . . . a withered leaf, a lovely letter, the beauty of the everyday or an unexpected conversation. Let us go into winter with a thankful attitude so that the seed of gratefulness can grow in our hearts when spring arrives.
