There 's a line in You've Got Mail that has been a big part of me for quite some time now about leading a small life. Valuable, but small.
I've always loved that line, and have adapted it to my own "I lead a small, happy life", a line that I have repeated to anyone who wanted to hear it.
Now, though, I have changed it again to acknowledge the year I've had: "I lead a small, happy life with enormous blessings".
The blessings of my life overwhelm me sometimes, because I feel a responsibility to be worthy of them, and I often worry that I won't be up to the task. But grateful, thankful, blessed, and happy I remain, and on this Thanksgiving I am particularly aware of just how wonderful this life of mine is.
Thank you, Dearies for being one of those enormous blessings, and for lavishing your love, support, encouragement, prayers, and wisdom on me through thick and thin.
My wish for you is that you will be equally blessed and that life will be full of love, health, happiness and enormous blessings of your own.
Happy Thanksgiving Coni. You are deserving. Just take one day at a time. Breath. Thank God. Live your simple but joyful life. I also have a simple but joyful life and it is lovely. May your day be filled with love, light and a nap!
ReplyDeleteAnd to you and yours, Coni. We're living life vicariously thru you- you've had enough adventures for a lifetime in just the past 3 months! Be well- p.
ReplyDeleteDitto back to you, dear one; love,health, happiness and enormous blessings. That you acknowledge the miracle you have
