Gratitude

Glinda writes:

Yesterday (January 29), we had high winds (25-30 miles per hour with gusts up to 40), temperatures of 8 degrees Fahrenheit, windchill at -11. That made for horizontal snow. If you had to be out and about, you needed to anchor yourself to a large rock.

This was a great day to meditate on Nature's power. We Humans are quite small in the scheme of things. Gratitude emerges for warm houses, heat, warm clothing, hot meals. It hasn't always been so, nor is it so with everyone in these times of abundance. We might also ponder the beautiful balance on Earth that supports life as we know it. We are blessed far more than we even know.
