As short as this reflection is, there is a lot to ponder. First is the lovely artwork. Such a graceful glimpse of nature and her beauty. Next is the thankfulness:
Appreciation
Gratitude
Acknowledgement
Prayer
Eucharist
And then there is the prayer:
Help me help you.

Whenever I write about this subject or read something lovely or experience both, as with your column, Liz, I think of how easy it seems to practice this and how hard it turns out to be in real life.
Of all the people I know I am one who has an exceptional amount for which to be grateful. And yet….the critical aspects of my mind, the “doing” energy, is constantly interfering.
Thank you for making gratitude such a pleasant & reassuring prayer today through your lovely artwork. The patterns you offer are as pleasing as gratitude itself and the few words you quote are all we need.
