Greetings Dear Reader,
It has already been a week since Thanksgiving. Most of us have decorated for Christmas. The remaining turkey and sides have been consumed,
re-purposed, or discarded. Sage and
stuffing are a fading memory as we recover from our feasting and promise to go
fasting at some point.
The time with my children was too brief and too absent. The work I do is there no matter the season,
climate, or location. I turn to it with
gratitude in my heart as the words seem to flow more freely this time of year.
I find that even though I am missing many of the things that
make this season my favorite I have a heart filled with love and
anticipation. My usual habits and haunts
are unavailable to me. My traditions are
subject to my lack of means and material to bear them out. Still I have so many things left over for
which I am thankful.
My circumstances must never meter or mitigate my gratitude. Were I to spend the entire year writing about
the things for which I am thankful, I should not run out of grist for my
writing mill on a single day. I yearn
for the familiar but I also know that I do not want to do so when I may miss
the new and exciting adventure that today holds. I am not at home. I am headed there. The road I travel is both terrible and
lovely.
As I miss my children, I will remind myself that even parted
from me they are under the watchful loving eye of the Father and his plan for
them is what matters. I have gratitude
to render for his providence, his love, and the freedom to care for others with
the time I have. As I near the end of
this odd November, I have so many things for which I am still thankful. How about you, Dear Reader? Tell me a story…
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
