Bask in this day.
Relish the beauty,
of the leaves and the smiles.
Feel the warmth of that hug.
Listen to the conversation around you,
and the sweet voices humming in the kitchen and singing around the piano.
Wrap your hands around that toasty mug of wassail,
and feel the tension leave.
Find pleasure in the aroma of the turkey roasting in the oven.
Eat slowly and delight in each taste,
salty and sweet and savory,
potatoes and cranberry sauce and stuffing.
Appreciate each dish,
each person, each sound, each heartbeat.
Be present,
for this moment is fleeting.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
