Today is Thanksgiving.
 |
| Weeping Cherry |
For many this is a day filled with friends, family and love.
 |
| Such a Photogenic Tree! |
For others, this day is hard for many reasons.
My wise and prayerful friend Marla posted the following on Facebook:
The circle of life is often hard and bittersweet, especially during holidays when life doesn't look like a Hallmark card or weekend movie special. Prayers for hope and human kindness going out to any and all of those struggling today.

| A Tree With Character |
On Wednesday, we found ourselves blanketed in a beautiful snowfall.
 |
| Dogwood Planted for My 15 Year Anniversary |
How peaceful. How grounding. How beautiful.
 |
| Our HUGE Maple Tree |
How perfect.

| Our Maple Tree |
I rejoiced in being able to go outside, trek around in the four inches of snow with my camera and take a bunch of photos of this winter wonderland. A year ago, I would have ended such an outing exhausted and breathless.

I wanted to share these photos because they made me feel a sense of peace and calm as the Thanksgiving holiday approached. Trees: they always make me feel more calm and grounded.

| Three Trees: 40 Year Old Weeping Cherry, 40 Year Old Maple, and Our New Weeping Cherry in Front of Our HOME. |
However you are feeling this Thanksgiving Day--whether it is a joyful one or a difficult one--may you find precious moments of peace.
Blessings,
Emily
