Perpetual Thanks
November 25, 2005
I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence. My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches. No run on my bank can drain it, for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.
~ Henry David Thoreau

Wow!
I've read Thoreau, but I had forgotten that quote. I wish I could say I am in that place!
However, I am thankful for my many blessings. My wife, my family, my friends, my home, my health, my work.
And my God.
