11/17/09

A splash of purple today among all of the fall things. Believe it or not, these were blooming a couple of weeks ago!

With Thanksgiving fast approaching I thought this poem was fitting. Enjoy!

Count your blessings instead of your crosses.
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes.
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears.
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean.
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth.
Count on God instead of yourself.

Love the picture and love the poem....I needed a reminder to look on the positives this day and leave the rest with God.
