A Day Of Thanksgiving

Thanks for beautiful blue skies of Oklahoma.

Thanks for fragrant air silently filling the garden.

Thanks for colorful fall leaves

Swirling and dancing through air even in their demise

The smell of earth enveloped with scent of life still emitting from fallen leaves.

Thanks for crisp afternoon sunshine filtering through bare trees.

Thanks for little birds’ morning chorus-

Busy squirrel’s ritual of nibbling on acorns and depositing some underground.

Thanks for my ears and my eyes to be able to watch this wondrous sight.

Thanks for my family and friends.

Most of all thanks for this happy state of mind receptive to the simple joys of the day.

I need not know whom to thank-

It is enough to know that I have so much to be thankful for.
