Gazing beyond the chestnut tree past the gazebo and onto the pond this reluctant participant in Parkinson’s disease gives thanks for the opportunity to enjoy the experience of family. During the course of one month we have hosted two sons and their families and reveled in the marriage celebration of a cousin with a plethora of relatives. Each of these adventures has brought immeasurable joy and great comfort as we now view the beauty of the landscape and recall the unique elements of each blessing. The wonder of our nine month old granddaughter crawling her way past the otherwise preoccupied pup tussling with her canine mother is yet another mental picture added to the book of gratitude being compiled with recollections. As we whisper the words of thanks for the opportunity to share these precious moments recalled we are filled with the presence of peace that supersedes our cares. Gratitude is the spark that ignites the fuel of thankfulness that illuminates our landscape of memories. May your memories today be filled with light!
