We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~Thornton Wilde
As Thanksgiving approaches, I am mindful of all that I am grateful for. As I ask myself who and what my treasures are, I see the faces of loved ones, I remember the support of my colleagues and mentors, and I think of the small and large delights of living that I savor every day. I think the following image illustrates my treasures pretty well:
It was my sister Kim who used whip cream to put “pi” on the pie, my sister Kristine who snapped the photo (low res, because it was a cell phone several years ago) and the rest of us joined in at laughing at their antics.
Delicious food and laughing with my family, now those are some of my dearest treasures.
What are your treasures?
Let’s all practice a heart-consciousness of our treasures during this season of gratitude.
…
And enjoy the pie!
