There is that magic of anticipation and excitement in the air this week as we approach Thanksgiving. People will celebrate with their families and friends.  Lets start with gratitude; as we spend time with our loved ones over the coming days.

Just what I am grateful for in my life?  Gratitude is all about appreciating the things we have in our lives... Are we even aware of the goodness all around us?...the fact that we are breathing and writing and reading these words is a marvel in itself.  How often we take something for granted and then miss it as soon as it has gone.  Many times a loved one leaves us only for us to wish we had told them just how much they meant to us.

It is grace to notice what is right instead of what is wrong and begin to see every problem as an opportunity for growth and learning....Is your glass half full or half empty?

Lets all, during this special week, value all the goodness and beauty around us.... This could be as simple as a smile or gazing into the eyes of your loved one or watching a magical, beautiful sunset or simply being alive and joyful. 

Two weeks ago we lost our beloved Zarif; a beautiful cat, who was with us for 15 years.  I am very grateful for having had him in my life; he knew how to give and receive love and how to be present.  Thank you Zarif for being such a precious teacher!

I am also greatful for my partner, Ivan. Thank you for all that you are.
Namaste,
