Happy Thanksgiving.
May the textures of the season inspire us to recognize our blessings.

I am grateful to my family and loved ones who stand and grow with me.

For Jim, Alexandra, and Jimmy — every day.

For dear friends who stick near.

I cherish the journey with mom down a foggy road that forked with her recent passing

— she is now home and I, forever marked, gaze to her and remember.

I am never alone.

His splendor surrounds me.

And his light will shine through my works if I am faithful.

Go into his world,

gather his gifts,


and assemble them for purpose.

The table is set.

Eat and feel fed.

What a Thanksgiving.

Take Comfort.
Happy Thanksgiving! What beautiful pictures you share! I’m so sorry to hear about your mom and know what a wonderful daughter you were to her.💜

Dear Karen,
I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a wonderful, delightful neighbor to us and a special friend. I can still clearly hear her voice with her dear-to-my-heart comforting and funny mom witticisms. It makes me smile to think of her. I am happy that she is finally reunited with your Dad, but deeply sorry for your loss.
With sympathy, Diana
Your photos and narrative are always so beautiful. We are sorry to hear about your mom and we know how much care you provided for her through challenging times.
What beautiful photos and words filled with comfort and love. Thinking of you all!
Much love, Melissa
Thank you for your words of thanksgiving and photos reminding us of God’s gifts every day.
Both words and photos are heartwarming – thanks friend.
What beauty! I am thankful for your friendship.
I looked at this on my phone Thanksgiving evening and wanted to see it on the bigger screen and enjoy the details. i used to take my grands out to gather decorations for our Thanksgiving table, so those pictures are special to me. Of course, your whole family is one of my special blessings. Have a wonderful holiday season.
