I too grapple with this. I heard this song a long while ago and it has always helped me.

Happy Thanksgiving, Swirly! And thanks for this photo of those beautiful leaves in our old town…Fall was always one of my favorite seasons in PDX.

So profound as only you can express it, Christine. I haven’t been leaving many comments but I am still reading you, and still loving your musings, insights and ways with words. You were one of my first – and best – finds in the blogging world and even though we never met in person, I am grateful for you and your blog. Wishing you a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving.

What a beautiful picture. And what a great reminder that we’re allowed to just be. That this breath is a gift that’s ours to enjoy and have, free of charge. That feels yummy and peaceful.
I’m finding myself in such a similar mood. Somehow I feel the rest of 2006 is about enjoying and getting my house in order for the wonder of 2007.

Crunchy or soggy Portland fall leaves-I will take them all. I just scooped up the last ones of the season and threw them away but it wasn’t easy! I wish I could be in the season’s moment more and enjoy the bare branches of the winter trees but I struggle with that apparently! I am wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving that brings a very content tummy, warm company, and much love.xoxo

Act as if the future of the universe depends on what you do,
while laughing at yourself for thinking that your actions make any difference.
