We are in the midst of Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and honouring Sabbath holds more meaning although maybe it should not. What if I were grateful and thankful each day-each moment?
Gratitude and thankfulness
Celebrate each moment
Turn to beloved others
Hold tight
Recognize worth
Share sacred
Moment by moment
Recognize extraordinary
Revealed in ordinary
What I take for granted
It is there
In each moment.
The rich bounty
Feel blessed.
That is Kathy standing on a rock right above Rearguard Falls on the Fraser River in Mount Robson Provincial Park. Two things I am grateful for.

About ivonprefontaine
I have been an educator for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I worked in private industry for 15 years, then returned to university to earn my education degree. For the past 11 years, I have been a co-creator of learning in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. A main theme in my learning there has been the roles of systems thinking, complexity theory, and organizational theory, and how they apply to education generally and the learning environment I share with students, parents, and colleagues.
If we could recognize the extraordinary in the midst of the ordinary – that may be the essence of giving thanks moment by moment. Happy Thanksgiving, Ivon!

Thank you Tiny. I have some catching up to do this week.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! It is so easy for me to get caught up in distracting things, or feel overwhelmed. I enjoyed reading your words they are definitely a great reminder to give thanks and remember what is important in life.
Thank you and enjoy your day.
