Giving Thanks

"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Happy Thanksgiving Friends,

There is no better time to express my appreciation for all those I am grateful for. This is a day for being with family and friends, so have a wonderful Holiday with those you love. Take this time to give gratitude to all who make your life blessed.  I am so fortunate to have met so many incredible minds and hearts through my work and new blog.  It is month three for me, and I feel like I have lived a lifetime in the conversations we have had.  Thank you to all of you who make the world, both on and off line a truly better place.  God Bless.

His wonderful story behind the photo:

There is a proverb that says, who does not thank for little will not thank for much. The dried leaves symbolize that ‘the days will pass, the leaves will dry and I have still not given you enough to say thank you’. That’s basically the whole idea behind it! In this image, I am expressing my own gratitude.. I mean, feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. Is it not? One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind…

Thank you!
