“For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,For health and food, for love and friends,For everything Thy goodness sends.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Less than a week to Thanksgiving. Once Thanksgiving is over…Black Friday hits and the swift countdown to Christmas and the holiday season begins. And once again I find myself thinking where did this year go? And did I accomplish my goals?
Last Thanksgiving our house was full of friends and family, there was a lot of excitement a year ago this week preparing for their arrival but this year we are celebrating by ourselves. Sunday I will make a big batch of cranberry chutney for Thanksgiving dinner and for Christmas gifts, bake my Nana’s raisin bread, pull out the holiday decor and the house will begin to smell and look like the holidays.
Today, consider starting a new tradition in your family, get together and write a collaborative poem to be read on Thanksgiving Day. Brainstorm together on what Thanksgiving means to you, what are you grateful for this year, how is this year different? What hopes do you have for next year that you can express poetically? Now get back to work!
Lovingly,
The Writing Nag
