Giving Thanks

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

Happy Thanksgiving and Blessings.

    Cristin, Happy Thanksgiving!
    I spend the summer in New England and went to Concord to visit the homes of the writers and thinkers of the American Bloomsbury, Emmerson being one of them. I love their simple and warm and deeply felt emotional approach to all things around them.
    Their philosophy moves me!
    This poem says it all!

    The beach shots of my family were actually taken at Coyote Point near Burlingame off the Bay. For the kids sake we selected a location close to home. Ocean Beach would have been a great place for photos too. xo
