Happy Thanksgiving

11.26.15

Screen Shot 2015-11-26 at 7.01.38 AMHow am I thankful for you?
When I walk to you, I hope to experience simply a spring breeze, yet you give me a full spring.

How am I thankful for you?
When I walk to you, I hope to feel simply the spray of the waves, yet you give me a vast sea.

How am I thankful for you?
When I walk to you, I hope to find one pretty red leaf, yet you give me a whole maple grove.

How am I thankful for you?
When I walk to you, I hope to kiss a snowflake, yet you give me a whole white, silver world.

–By Wang Guo Zhen, Chinese poet (translated by a friend…and edited a bit more to make sense in English by me)

Sent to me by that sweet Chinese friend with the following message:

Happy Thanksgiving Day! Thanks for being so nice to me. Thanks for our Good Book study.

So, so thankful today.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
