578A CUP HALF FULL DAY ...

If ever a day was set aside
To bend the mind
Toward the positive side
Tis this day when we give thanks
For the best of life's bounties ...
Most especially
Treasured family and friends
And now that the feasting is over
And the story telling is done
And the kitchen is spotless
And it's time to turn in for the night
I plan to fall asleep smiling
By withdrawing moments of good fortune
From my memory bank
Because recalling positive memories
From years, gone by
Is my favorite way
To enjoy a peaceful repose
While drifting from conscious awareness
Into slumberland
Night after night...
And thus do I identify
Countless reasons why
My cup proves more than half full ...
:) Happy Thanksgiving, 2012, one and all
