A few days ago I took up the Prompt from Sindy over at BlueButterfliesandme the 12 Days of Christmas prompt. I chose to write about
~Gratitude~.
There are so many things I am grateful for. So many things as I wake each day I give thanks for.. Being relatively pain-free of FMS, walking, seeing, a roof over my head, Family, Self Healing~So many things we take for granted each and every day of the year..
This year I have had an abundance of Gifts, which are too numerous to mention I am eternally grateful for. I look around the world and see so many people’s lives in disarray, disharmony, as their worlds are seemingly coming apart. So I make a special effort as I put my feet on the floor as I get out of bed in a morning to thank the Universe for the day and what it will bring.. We often take each day for granted as well as the people within our lives..
So on my 12 Days of Christmas I am thankful, Thankful too for being able to share here on WordPress my thoughts and Feelings and express them and share with so many more like minded wonderful people I have met in Cyber Space. And Thankful if someone should stumble upon my pages I hope my thoughts may at least leave them thinking or that they too become inspired to spread some love and Light…
So Thank you all for your Love and Support over 2013
I often leave everyone I visit with the greetings of ‘Blessings’!..
So Many Blessings we take for granted each day..
So as this Season of Goodwill to ALL Men is on its countdown to Christmas Day… I will leave you with a Poem I wrote a few years ago now..
Called
‘Season’s Gifts’
Our Season’s greetings now begun,
And gifts we give and songs we’ve sung
Of Peace on Earth Goodwill to men
Well I had to write and hold my pen
And tell you of the Gifts we hold
They come not of the Christmas Story told
But each and every day we see
The True gifts heaven sent to you and me
The ones of shelter from a storm
A roof and food and Healthy baby born
To walk to see and smile happily
And share the love of family
Let’s remember those who have no one
The orphan’s beggars and lonely ones
Those who are lost and those afraid
And those who are abused and dazed
Let’s count the Gifts of being warm
And pray for those who come to harm
Lets also remember the war torn spots
Where our soldiers lives are not just maps and dots
So when we unwrap our gifts this year
Let us remember with a tear
The Gifts we hold each and every day
To Give our thanks and Blessings say
Peace on Earth Goodwill to all men
And hold them in our hearts ..
Amen..
Love and Blessings Everyone
In Gratitude,
Sue ~Dreamwalker~

Beautiful post, Sue, and I wish you a magical Christmas and very Happy New Year, too! I did my last post for the year a couple of days ago, as the “busy-ness” of the season and family is taking over, so I’ll see you in 2014! I’m sorry I’ve missed many of your posts; I haven’t been online as much, but I look forward to more of your inspiration and beautiful words and thoughts in the new year! Sending lots of love and hugs! xo

so many, many things to be thankful for Sue, even when I’m at my darkest I manage to count my blessings for taking a my first breath at birth to the present day. So many wonders are performed every day, a new dawn, a glorious sunset, a kindness to a stranger, a smile , a word, or a deed. We are special and we are tested, so it’s up to us to meet each day on this good Earth as something to aspire to. Love and light my friend, and wishing you and yours a wonder-filled Christmas and may 2014 be a good year.for one and all xxPenxx
