wednesday, November 5, 2025 Quote of the week

Looking behind I am filled with gratitude. Looking forward I am filled with vision. Looking upwards I am filled with strength. Looking within I discover peace.
Quero Apache Prayer

November tends to be the month for recognizing gratitude. I have read people's Thirty Days of Gratitude posts on their favorite social media feed for the past few years, so I decided this was a path for me this month. With Thanksgiving arriving within the next few weeks, it is healthy to be mindful of all I have.

A steady rain continued throughout last weekend, and I was thankful for the quiet time. I listened to the drops ping from off my roof and watched the water puddle in the streets. Water can be as crushing as tidal waves or violent tsunamis, but water can also be as gentle as mist.

Outside my window, I noticed a tiny drop of rain clinging ever so delicately to a branch of my juniper bush. I felt incredibly blessed to witness such beauty. Simple beauty yet so magnificent.

Yes, it was a "gloomy" weekend, but it allowed me time to settle and absorb nature that I would have been too busy to see otherwise. Sunshine is inviting, but in the words of John Updike, he said that "Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life." We need the sun, and we need the rain; we need the waves, and we need the stillness.

I am grateful for the ordinary transforming into the majestic!
