A Thankful Pause As I was trudging, somewhat lost, through splats of mud that life had tossed, a tiny whisper fluttered near and dropped its message in my ear. "Did you give thanks today?" it said. I paused a moment, scratched my head. All day I'd worried, sulked and whined; complaints had occupied my mind. I'd watched my plans deflate and wilt, but now I felt a twinge of guilt. I know I should consider more the things that I am thankful for. . . The faces that I love so much, the moments left for me to touch. It's time to give my frowns a rest, and count the many ways I'm blest! copyright 2002 Laryalee Fraser |
