what am i thankful for this year?

i have been wracking my brain trying to think about what i was going to do a post about this week- not that i don’t often find myself in that situation :) but it’s that time of year when we are supposed to really be thankful for something. i won’t lie- it has been a tough year and it ain’t over yet. what has struck me most is how this year has turned out to be one of tying up loose ends and of great loss- for most people. out of the ashes rises the phoenix though- and i have also seen much spiritual growth from quite a few folks- and the amount of relationships forged between complete strangers astounds me. so- i will have to say- if i had to pick one thing only to be thankful for- it is the human spirit. the human spirit in many countries rises above tyranny and oppression and has fought back and created beauty out of ugliness and brilliance out of poverty. the human spirit has prevailed against despotism and police states and transcended races, religions and cultures of all kinds to pull together and overcome. we have seen it in the past- and we will live through the current nightmare to make a new future. we, the people, of the united world- as one planet- have been coming together one person at a time- one blog at a time- to see through the veil of lies and deceit and light the candle of truth. for this- i am thankful. happy thanksgiving to all. b

    yes indeed the human spirit, our interesting connections, and for most of us, food to eat, enough heat and a roof over our heads. When i look around the world. To Bengladesh, to China - to Iraq - to our own prison system and its inequities and barbarism,

    I cannot not help but feel rediculously “lucky” and incrediably grateful -but as you say - above all it is the human spirit , that rises up and fights for justice, heals the wounds, and has the chance to choose love over fear and hatred. Expansiveness and Abundance vs. Selfish miserly actions materially or spiritually.
