feast
Sirens raging, horns blowing and the sound of cars and trucks racing by welcome the second morning in South Florida. Just across the street lies the touted tranquil shore that has yet to be visited. The weather is stellar this day with a refreshing tropical breeze blowing from the eastern realm. Calm now from the onslaught of the earlier frenzy of emergency vehicles and the attendant annoyance occupies now a place of thankfulness. Memories of time spent together with family last evening and the promise of more to come fill the cauldron of gratitude this day. Anticipation of time with my son and his family today adds more flavor to the feast of gratitude being consumed. Somewhat limiting physical symptoms seem to fall from their place of significance as appreciation for time with loved ones supersedes. Gratitude is the spice that gives life’s bountiful stew its flavor!
