A Thanksgiving Wish In Photos And Verse

By Cathy Chester on November 27, 2014

Are you sick and tired of reading posts about gratitude and why it's important to count your blessings? Did you say yes?

Well, brace yourself for one more. Because I have so much to be thankful for, and there's no better day than today to show my love and gratitude for all of the blessings in my life.

The photos below show only a portion of what I am thankful for. My apologies to anyone I inadvertently left out or don't have a photo of.

If you are reading this that means you've added some special meaning to my life, and for that I thank you with a poem by Emerson:

Cultivate a habit of being grateful.

Thanksgiving

For every good thing that comes to you,

Thanksgiving

and to give thanks continuously,

Thanksgiving

and because all things have contributed,

Thanksgivingto your advancement,

Thanksgiving

you should include all things in your gratitude.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Chester Family wishes you and your loved ones a joyful Thanksgiving!!

  1. Your very lucky. M any of us are all alone in life. Even my cat died. I recuse myself to take part in being toldI have to be grateful. My illness has left me homebound for 4 months. Family is dead and I am suffering alone.

  2. Kathy, I am so grateful for you and the way you choose to live a life of gratitude. In my many years, I have grown to know that gratitude is not just a word or " thing"....it is truly an act of the heart. Sometimes it is genuine and other times it is simply a word and not a heart choice. On this day of Thanksgiving, I am so grateful for you and your family and for the daily inspiration you put into words for others to share. Happy day! "Mom"

  3. Thank you for sharing, Cathy. Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for. Truly we are blessed!

  4. Cathy,
    I am so touched that you included me and my folks in your collage. I am so thankful dear friend that we have reconnected. Much love to the family. Xo Marcy

  5. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

    It would have taken me longer to do a post like this --- photo compilation! Collages! Bold type! --- than to write 2,000 words. I am duly impressed!

  6. Dear Cathy, Such a meaningful poem and beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing and including pictures of our wonderful reunion. Much love to you, Gary, Jordan and the rest of the family. Cookie and Irwin
