Gratitude: Little Things Mean a Lot
On the Thanksgiving weekend, while using a rented hedge trimmer to tidy up vines, shrubs, and roses before winter, the author reflected on the holiday's meaning.
The task required focus to avoid accidents, like the one that left a scar above the left knee from a few years ago.
The author also kept watch for deer on the front lawn to prevent another emergency trip, recalling a past incident where Izzy's leash injured the middle finger of the left hand, requiring an unusual bandage.
Little things mean a lot, especially during holidays like Thanksgiving.
