Abundance



Yesterday I spent a few hours
picking a bunch of tangerines from
our tree in our backyard, funny while
I was picking tangerines my husband
was picking oranges off the tree on the
other end. as I was sorting them I ended up with 5 bags !
and there is still a great deal
of abundance of tangerines on the tree
that will need to be picked.

so while I was looking at the trees I just
thought what a beautiful color and what
an abundance this tree fruited and produced.

and then I began to think about this week
being thanksgiving and last night I kept
pondering all this as I was looking at all the
tangerines and I reflected it to my life.

I am blessed in abundance for my husband & best friend
of 25 years, for my children, my husband's family, my sisters, & brother,
my nephews, nieces.(for the reconnection with two of them that I hope will always continue)
to my niece and nephew I am beginning to know. for the new family members that married or
that were born into the family this year. for the memories of those that have passed
for true friends, for the folks that read my blog! and don't think I am crazy!
and for myself that I will be turning 45 next week.

I feel profoundly and abundantly blessed
we are off to the desert to spend the Thanksgiving
holiday with my husband's family it gives us a chance
to spend time with them. but it also gives me the chance
to take a breath and recharge and ponder many things
in the stillness of the desert a time just to sit still.

note: those who know me and read this, that live near me
if you would like some tangerines let me know there is
plenty!

so I wish everyone who reads this a Happy Thanksgiving
and hope that you are all blessed with much abundance .
