A Thanksgiving Treat
November 24th, 2009 | Author: Shannon
Taking a walk in nature can be the most rewarding, inspiring, relaxing, bonding time for families. So this Thanksgiving give one another breathing space. Take sometime to walk on the fresh solid ground; feel the depth of the soil, the firmness of the rock foundation, the lightness of the air, the coolness of the breeze.
While on your nature walk, collect beautiful natural treasures to share as decorations for the Thanksgiving table.
Try to remember not to ambush one another, as happened on the first Thanksgiving.
Be truthful, be grateful, be wonderful.
I feel grateful for the coziness of the forest and for the time I can spend in the place out of time.
I feel grateful for everything that was, everything that will be, and all that is right now in this moment.

Lovely! My two boys, who are three and six, and I walk in the (urban) woods by our house every week. We all enjoy it, especially visiting the same place and watching the seasons change.
It’s nice to have found your blog – I got here via the 30-Minute Blog Challenge.
Best,

I recommend a hike as part of all winter holidays – so much tension can be generated by all that pent-up energy with family all confined to a limited space and getting excited. A walk is a wonderful release!

My husband’s family also has a tradition that the kids (that’s now us grownups) take a walk in the afternoon. That’s something I need to do more often with my son than I do now.

thanks to all for your beautiful and encouraging comments. Here it is, the big day, let us be gentle and kind to all around us. Many blessings to each of you and thank you for being a part of my life. Amen. Namaste. Sat Nam. We are all related.
Going for walks always has a way of centering me as well. I’m most able to connect with the NOW and to be grateful for all that IS. Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!
