Folklore wisdom says that when the trees and shrubs are heavily laden with berries in the fall, it’s predictive of a hard, cold winter…nature’s way of providing for the birds and animals.
I’m seeing an abundance of berries around me this year. Hard winter or not, abundance surrounds me and I am thankful.
I hope all my American friends had a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family. We here in Canada celebrated our Thanksgiving holiday in October, so we are twice reminded of how much we have to be thankful and grateful for.
And of course, each and every day is a good day for gratitude!
“Whatever we think about and thank about, we bring about”
Dr John Demartini
You're right about that, kate. Every day is a good day for gratitude. Thank you also for the reminder of seeing the abundance in winter to find the beauty in what is in many ways a harsh, dreary, dark time. Blessings and love, xoO
