Oh how I pondered and dithered and pondered some more. How best to represent the many, many things I am thankful for. Other holidays are more easily settled... a Christmas tree, an Easter egg, a Valentine heart, etc. But a turkey on Thanksgiving... it just doesn't say enough. So you look at the two in the picture and ask "What is he thankful for?"
It's not hard to guess, since I am showing the grand-twins, that I am thankful for family. But also for all the wonderful things in our lives that we are able to enjoy. Like fresh air, and clear skies. Living in Dunedin, Florida. A nice warm place to sleep every night. People who love us. The freedom to walk around my neighborhood in the evening, enjoying the moonlight and fresh air. Healthy babies (above).
Fuzzy little ducklings.
Sizzling sunsets.
Fall colored leaves.
A quiet place to sit. Food on the table each day. People in the world who care about other people, like
Ham supporting Cancer Care, and
Free Rice, and
Free Hugs. Not to mention people that
care about animals.
In addition, I am thankful for
gorgeous white birds in county parks where I can see them in person, instead of in a book or museum. For
trails and
bikes and feet for walking. I'm thankful for the
Daily Photo blog that I found that inspired me to start this one. And for the Romanian who teaches us about
Brasov. For the incredible photography of
OML. For a
Boston blogger. I give thanks for ALL the bloggers out there doing
City Daily Photo blogs, and who welcomed me into this incredible community. Not to mention all the OTHER photo blogs like
this one, and
that one, and
this other one, and
that other one, and any others I forgot at the moment.
I am thankful for the health of loved ones. Forgiveness. Patience. Wisdom. Acceptance. Tolerance. Peace, when it can be had. And I am thankful for YOU, a visitor to my Dunedin Daily Photo blog, because YOU make it all worth while. Thanks for coming today. I wish you and your family the very best Thanksgiving, and a life full of things to be thankful for.
