I just wanted to share with you all this poem of thanks as we have just ended the Thanksgiving Season and are about to embark on the highly anticipated yearly Christmas Season, full of shopping and gift giving and receiving and more importantly treasured memories with family and friends.  As we look back at our Thanksgiving holiday let's also remember while moving forward to remember to be grateful for all that is around us as well as all of the new and exciting things to come in the new year. 

Poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson below:

For flowers that bloom about our feet,
For tender grass so fresh and sweet,
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For blue of stream and blue of sky,
For pleasant shade of branches high,
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven we thank Thee.

For this new morning with it's light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
