A month of Thanks ~ sticking to it

*sigh*

I thought very much about skipping today. I figured that I "deserved" a pass... a freebie... a "just lost a dear friend so it's okay not to be thankful for anything so I get out of blogging" free card.

But I never did like to take the easy way out.

Today I am thankful for putting one foot in front of the other. For seeing the beauty in a fall day, even through the tears, for the song that comes on the radio that puts words to the heartache, and for the wordless understanding that comes from a simple grasp of the hand.

Today I am thankful for the beauty in remembering that Love truly never dies.
