“I believe in the uncommon, the unusual and unlikely,
even the miraculous.
I believe in nearly all things except impossibilities.
That I can’t fathom. ”

Gratitude is one of those ‘graces’ of the spirit, which once we find it, transforms the quality of our existence. I’ve learned it is more an attitude, a habit of mind; which colors each day with openness to what unfolds.
We can find the workings of good fortune and infinite love in the midst of our lives, even as we face the challenges each new day brings. It is in working through our challenges that our lives grow, in often unexpected ways.
It is usually in the shadows of our day to day struggles that we come to understand the truth of friendship and loyalty; the self-less love which binds families; and the miraculous nature of our multiverse.

“Gratitude” is the theme of our A Forest Garden 2016 calendar, just off to the publisher on Monday. It is filled with photos celebrating the beauty of our garden as the seasons unfold. And each month offers a new quotation about the power of gratitude and appreciation to shape our lives and transform our world.

I wish each of you happiness and warmth on this new Thanksgiving Day.
May each of us find joy in the day, wherever we may be, and with whomever we share the holiday this year.
And may each passing year bring us closer to living in the grace of gratitude. May we realize the power of a grateful mind and heart to fill our lives with joy.
