It's high time to put the turkeys back in the buffet
drawer for another eleven months.
After all, Christmas has already snuck out of the attic
and laid claim to every room.
But these tattered birds hold their ground on
our Hoosier cabinet, reminding me that
gratitude
never goes out of season and isn't intended to be
tucked away in the buffet.
Thanksgiving should be a daily holiday.
So in honor of the turkeys' clarion call,
let's continue to give thanks.
I'm grateful for sunshine through
boldly painted sweetgum leaves.
The last nasturtium bloom
to withstand the ever-dipping temperatures
is the very picture of gratitude.
May we each brave the cold as well...
with thanks.
