Thankful Thursday

 Thankful Thursday

I am always thankful when Thursday rolls around. It gives me one more day before I get to spend the whole weekend with my sweetheart.

I am thankful that Nick's friend Andre DeGrasses won a gold medal at the Olympics. We were very happy to see him win his race.

I am thankful the heat cooled down a bit and we have had some light rain in the late evening. 

Thankful to see the grass turning such a beautiful shade of emerald green.

Someone posted this beautiful poem and photo at social media:  

 

Just thought this was so beautiful!

I want to age like sea glass.

Smoothed by tides,

but not broken.

I want my hard edges to soften.

I want to ride the waves

and go with the flow.

I want to catch a wave

and let it carry me

to where I belong.

I want to be picked up

and held gently by

those who delight in my

well earned patina and

appreciate the changes I went

through to achieve that beauty.

I want to enjoy the journey

and always remember that if

you give the ocean something

breakable it will turn it into

something beautiful.

I want to age like sea glass.
