Maybe I will count my Blessings now. They are the Crowd among which my grumblings hide.

The Christ that is Christmas; the Family that has made me and the Family that is of me; the Country that is the ready bounty of liberty; the Dignity that is the labors of my mind and hand; the People who have sacrificed for mine and me; the Wise who instruct me; and the Enterprise that sustains me. Blessings. Counted.

The Memories that I keep. Counted, as acquired. Blessings.

My senses. Blessings, such as they are. Counted.

Home: The pantry, the well, the walls, the warmth, the comfort, the wire, the dog, my socks, my hats, the love, and the longing to be here when I am not. Counted. Here. Blessings.

Thanksgiving at Christmas. This morning. Today. Blessings. Counted. Counting…

Tis a day of days, a life to a life, again, I see it five ago and almost sixteen. We, say mine and me, this day of days then and then, received of unimaginable grace, by the Almighty, by the souls of bereft saints, from hands of duty and knowledge, and from the goodness that is the nature of men.

So grand this day of days, those days of days, thens and thens, that ordinary and regular is most days ours granted.

Mine and me, blessed beyond knowing with our normals, this day of days among, recall our gratitudes to God, and to the beauty and skill within true human beings.
