Grace

For each 
new morning 

with its light,

For rest 


and shelter 


of the night,


For health


 and food, 


for love 


and friends,


For everything 

Thy goodness 

sends.


~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am so very
thankful
for 
each 
and
every
one
of 
you,
dear readers!

Wishing you a 
warm
joyous
and peace-filled
Thanksgiving.

xx
Suzanne
