Share the Joy: Thanksgiving and Gratitude

This Share the Joy Thursday is a day of  plenty,

family and friends, and taking the time

to reflect on gratitude.

Among the many blessings in my rich, passionate life,

I am grateful for our local non-profit indie theater

that shows the best of independent film

and for the volunteers that staff the concession stand

where all members can get their free small bag

of Orville Redenbacher popcorn with or without real butter.

I'm grateful for locally-owned bakeries that offer tasty treats

and heavenly smells and bicycles parked outside.

I’m grateful for the color blast that autumn brings

even if we have to withstand the Pacific Northwest

November monsoons.

I'm grateful that I chose to participate in 

Deepak Chopra's 21 Day Meditation Challenge.
