even agnostics can give thanks
for the blessing they receive.
thank God, the One, Fate, Chance, or the First Cause
(how you envisage this force or being is entirely your business),
or feel a glow of gratitude
even if you have nowhere to direct it.
the important things is that you appreciate
the fabulous privilege of being alive, now, on Earth,
with all the faculties and values you treasure.

Hello Robin girl !
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well and warm snuggled in your nest there : )
Today was the first day I saw snow flakes ! .. Old man winter is insisting on reaching out his hand.
I really like this "homey" shadow shot .. the atmosphere is warm and happy with the sun kissing the table and leaving the shadow on the table.
Take care !
Joy : )
Beautiful capture and wonderful words, Robin!! Hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI know that blessings do arrive from the one true God - even as we looks for the great blessings, the smaller blessings, such as a four season climate and the changing weather to be a gift we can enjoy even at 17°F, as we know warmer days will eventually follow. Life is great as long as we acknowledge all of our blessings!
ReplyDeleteThat table, quiet in the shadows, looks like such an inviting place!
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful warm words! Lovely image- captures how lucky I feel to live where I am. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletelovely textures in that shot
ReplyDeleteA beautiful shadow shot, and warming words.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, so very true! I am grateful for all that is in my life-embracing the imperfection as much as I do the perfection (although I' not sure what is perfect).
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time this week as you spend time with your family and friends giving thanks.
A table set for light! It feeds us too.
ReplyDeleteAn intimate moment of soft light and shadow. A wonderful sense of cosiness. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely detail...
ReplyDeletenice shot. :)
ReplyDeleteYou don't believe this: it's +17 in the flat where I stay! I had to put the radiator on next to me, otherwise I would freeze sitting and typing...
ReplyDeleteThey do not have built in radiators in Spain! because electricity is so expensive...
I have to plan when to have a showe: either to do some activity like cleaning or sitting in the sun and then quickly to jump in and shower when the body is warm. :) Yes, you need imagination here...
