Thankful for Fire & Glass!

Thanks for my mind - the knowledge I use, and learn more, daily.

Thanks for my eyes - the beauty I am able see around me.

Thanks for my heart - for the love that surrounds me.

Thanks for my feet - to walk the Earth and Her Bounty and to hopefully use Her gently.

Thanks for my hands - I am able to reach out to others to share my knowledge, love and hope.
