Change

Life is just one big adjustment after another. Just when you get used to one thing, it changes and in times like that, it's good to be thankful for the little things.


falling

I'm thankful for the simple pleasure of raining leaves and kids that haven't lost the wonder of a perfect fall day.

pondering the leaf

I'm thankful for my little muse and for the wonder I get to relive through his eyes. Eyes that are learning to appreciate colorful leaves for the first time.


an offering

I'm thankful for life's small offerings and gifts.


brothers

I'm thankful for brothers who actually like each other.


work isn't work in this kind of light

I'm thankful for light so beautiful it hurts my insides.


kansas autumn

I'm thankful for the explosion of the color yellow right before the stark season of cold and nothingness.


brown

And I'm thankful to the Maker of the Seasons who does not change but has made change all around us to keep us from getting complacent and for us to enjoy.

love this post- your photos speak volumes. You got it right- we gotta be thankful for the little things and to stop long enough to really see those blessings. Having kids reminds me of that, as I watch them appreciate the ordinary.
