[Begin scene]
Six points around like David’s star,
So bright its orange is seen quite far…
This lily bloom so big and bold,
Brings warmth within to ease the cold…
A vibrant sign of God’s great works,
Just one of many natures perks…
It is open now for all to see,
How beautiful our lives can be.
[End scene]
A poem of temporary beauty by this neophyte blogger and poet.

Each day up to and including Thanksgiving I will post about one thing I am thankful for. I invite you to do the same if you like the idea.
Today, I am thankful for our veterans.
It is Veterans Day, a day of honor and remembrance in the United States, for the many individuals who have given of themselves in service to this country by serving in our armed forces. Many men and women have paid dearly, some even ultimately, in order to make the world a seemingly better place. To them, I say thank you!
Maybe one day we will reach a state of world peace and such service won’t be necessary. I suppose we can dream.
What are you thankful for today?

If nobody reads a post, does it make an impact?
One of the things I sometimes struggle with is putting together a post that I think is decent and would be well received only to find that very few if any people have viewed it. After a couple days pass it is quite lost in the ether as most people seem to read in the now, and don’t generally look back through older posts. I believe most of us would like what we create to be seen by others or we would simply type into our favorite word processor and only save locally.
There is some impact from the post on myself as I enjoy the creative processes but it seems soo much less valuable when it stays relatively unseen. Does this frustrate anyone else? How do you deal with this feeling?

Today, I am thankful for ice cream.
Ice cream ranks highest among my favorite sweet treats. There are so many flavor varieties to choose from and few that I don’t like. I really like raspberry flavored ice cream or chocolate ice cream with peanut butter in it. I would have to say those are some of my more preferred flavors. It is sweet and creamy so not only does it satisfy the sweet tooth (I think all my teeth are of that type :P) but it has a pleasing texture as well. You can even take it on the go and strut about with a cone filled with the wonderful goodness. (Or two cones, one for each hand 😉 ) Okay, maybe not strut but meander. Strut has a bit too much ‘look at me’ attitude for my liking.
What are you thankful for today?
