An absolutely lovely day in McMinnville, Oregon where my family and I are celebrating Thanksgiving with some extended family. And on this beautiful day it is simple to “see” and feel the bounty of life. Tasting delicious food and drink from the garden just outside the door and the local area, while looking around the table at the loving, substantive, people that I am privileged to share days with and feelings of gratefulness fill the heart and mind. Stepping outside to see a bit of nature’s beauty, I find this oak tree being soothed by the sun and think…I am grounded with gratitude today and just like this oak, have a good, strong life.

Heartfelt thanks to all who have shared a bit of their life via this blog and wishes to always “see” and feel life’s bounty.
