We spent time with my MIL this past weekend, and as we moved things in and out of her apartment, I kept walking over the Japanese Maple leaves that had fallen to the ground.
Each and every time I went in or out of the door, I had to stop and take a picture. I can’t even tell you how many photos I took.
What can I say? I was enamored!
As I spend this morning cooking and baking to take food to my mother, I’m thankful for so many things. In particular, my mom! She is 92, and even though she has a few challenges, she is positive and grateful and still so much fun! I also have a kind, generous, and fun husband, and a wonderful family. Fortunate indeed!
As I sit in my comfortable home, with the clothes and food and heat that I need, I think of all those living in poverty and in fear. We must all do what we can to help them.
March. Send money. Be kind.
I am also fortunate to be home today, and not working. I have worked my share of holidays through the years and I am grateful to those who had to get up to work today.
I am fulfilled by the earth around me. We MUST protect her! May we all get outside for a bit and appreciate the natural world.
And I am grateful for the privelege of blogging and for meeting so many of you.
I Am a Fortunate One.
