Thanksgiving Blessings

 

So Thanksgiving has come and gone and without mom for the second year, but this year I focused on the beauty around me. The world bathed in filtered light through the branches, past the rain, past the fog and dappered sunshine shining through. I focused on the warmth that surrounded me and this year I found myself sending love and light into the world to honor my mom who passed away a few years back. There were no tears, only family and friends. There was no sadness, there was joy for the years we did have with her.

This year was a year to remember. A trip to Colorado. My kiddo moving out to Colorado where she has wanted to be for years. This year was her dream of moving coming true. It was a year of firsts and a few lasts. It was losing weight, walking more, seeing the Rockies for the first time. This year was amazing, but hard. It was a year of struggles and a year of achieving some dreams. This was a great year.

The beauty of Colorado stayed with me in my heart. The Rockies thrilled me with snow capped mountains, this year was filled with flights and packing and broken suitcases. It was a year filled with blessing that I did not even know I needed. It was God providing before I even knew I needed to pray.

This was a year of mixed emotions. It was filled with people coming in and then out of my life. It was connecting with friends and losing others. It was ups and downs and miles of walking. Walking always helps clear the head so that you can listen to the heart.

2025 is coming to a close and while I do not do resolutions I did say last year I would journal 2025 and so far I have not missed a day. Sometimes its complaining in a safe space, sometimes it is me writing down my dreams. And as always its honest and raw and  life at its best and worst.

I pray 2026 has some dreams coming true, me expanding what I know to include new and wonderful friendships and hobbies. I want to travel more, take more photos, write a book, and  accomplish more than I ever have. I want to spread my wings and see where the wind takes me. I want to write more hear and in my journal. This world hopefully will remember me when I am gone, but for now I am here, I am writing, and I would love to know what you are up to as well. 

May 2026 be a blessing to us all. May the coming year teach us more of what we need to know. 2025 was smeh, but honestly I think its what I make out of it, what you make out of it. I want to grow more and learn more this year. I want to listen to poets read, I want to learn new things and travel to new places.

May 2025 end strong for you and 2026 be a blessing to you all.

Your friend,

Debbie
