Thought this was really beautiful and totally appropriate for the upcoming Thanksgiving Long Weekend.

What are you grateful for?

Blessed be the Earth for giving birth to this food

Blessed be the Sun for nourishing it

Blessed be the Wind for carrying its seed

Blessed be the Rain for quenching its thirst.

Blessed be the hands that helped to grow this food,

To bring it to our tables

To nourish our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Blessed be our friends, our families, and our loved ones.

Today may we appreciate this food and remember those who are hungry.

May we appreciate our family and friends and remember those who are alone.

May we appreciate our health and remember those who are sick.

May we appreciate the freedoms we have and remember those who suffer injustice and tyranny.

Peace on earth.
