Gratitude

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Winter is making

His Presence known.

In the midst

of His Grip,

I have

random thoughts

on Gratitudes

to start my Day:

Heat,

New Wood Stove

and Chimney,

Fire safely held,

Rocks which hold

and release Heat,

Skilled Hands,

Fuel:

Wood

and Propane

and Electricity,

the Areas of the Earth

which gifted them to us,

Warmth of Family,

Teamwork of Family,

Full Pantry,

Gas Stove,

Cycles of Nature,

abilities

of Nature's Children

to ride Winter's Wave

in ways we know

and do not know,

Rest and Slumber

in Winter's Deep.
