Thankful

Over the last week, there have been three car accidents around the farm. We’ve come home to flashing lights and closed roads. Less than a week ago, we watched from the dining room window as a helicopter landed on the road to airlift someone to the hospital.

Today, Thanksgiving, I am thankful to be here. To be healthy. To be with my family.

This is what matters.

Hold your loved ones close. Take time to be with them. Take care as you go through the world. Care for yourself and for others. Care for your physical well-being as well as your mental and emotional wellness.

Be kind. Careful. Polite. Patient. Respectful. In the store, at work, around the dinner table, on the road and online.

Be thankful. Life is precious.

  1. Amen to that. Well said Julia.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I think of Audrey today and miss her as I’m sure you do too and of course Matt.

    Today is truly a gift for tomorrow know one knows what is in store for us. God knows.

    Faith is holding a centrepiece she made in Sparks. We were honoured she chose Jaro and myself in giving her Fall gift to us.

    Take care, Pam

  2. This is so very true. After losing my brother when I was nine and watching my parents live without him for the rest of their lives, I am grateful every day to have my children, their partners and my grandchildren all with us. Knowing that life is both precious and precarious helps me stay in that gratitude.

    Happy fall deepening time!
