Happy Thanksgiving

One of the most life affirming moments is when we give thanks.  We have so much to be thankful for but this morning I am struggling.  Michael had a wonderful first full day at Mt. Vernon yesterday, but as we prepare to leave for the hospital my heart is heavy.  Needing to adjust my frame of mind, I read.  I read your inspiring words of love and hope on the blog which give me more strength than you’ll ever know.  I am eternally grateful.

Michael and I have had many conversations about life, it’s creation, it’s creator and it’s origin.  It’s a topic he loves to debate, so I’m sure many of you have had similar conversations in the wee hours of the morning with him.  Probably the most recent theory related conversation was the Tao.  So, I read a little from the teachings of Tao and found my son in these…

“The journey is the reward”

” The softest thing can overcome the hardest, formless, it can enter where there are no gaps or space.” 

“Those who know do not speak, those who speak do not know”

“Even a 1,000 mile journey starts with a single step”.

Ok, Michael.  Let’s see where the journey takes us today.
