| My meal while visiting with my son |
I'm posting my gratitudes for today:
1. Lunched with my oldest son, today. (He and I share the same name of my great grandfather, grandfather and two of my grandfather's sons.) It's a joy seeing the terrific young man he's become. From 2:15 p.m. until 4:45 p.m we visited and took pleasure in our midday meal.
Our food was more than that of the morsel variety. We imbibed in the goodness taking place in our lives, we dined on joyful memories as a family. The cornbread bread of gratitude, baked with the warmth of hope for our family's future, was tasty. We finished off our time with the dessert of laughter, generously sprinkled with the love we share for one another.
We stood by our cars, as we were about to part, completing our visit with heartfelt prayer. The time sped by. But the memories of today's lunch will be etched in my heart, forever. Am I lucky, or what?
2. Tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, I'm visiting with my best friend, Alan. I mentioned him in yesterday's post. I'm thankful for the stability of this friendship. We've been friends since we were twelve. I'm thankful for Alan's discernment, wisdom, spirituality and kindness. It great to go back in time with someone who's known me during times of weal and woe, who's been there for me, and I, for him, in our times of need. It's restorative to be with someone with whom I enjoy a shared history of several decades.
3. I relaxed tonight. I slowed down. I stayed home, an unusual occurrence for me. I took time to take life in and bask in its blessings. I reflected upon fond memories of time enjoyed with a remarkable young man today. I also thanked God for allowing me to see a dear friend tomorrow, at 1:00 p.m.
Have a terrific Thursday, may it be a great and grateful day, for you.
The Innkeeper
