M’L Instants # 39, Autumn Holiday Collection :) .

Hello my InterWorld friends and family, I hope you’re doing well and are enjoying your day. Here is my 39th set or the Autumn Holiday Collection of my M’L Instants. I hope you enjoy them as well as I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. I know it’s not what we are used to but I hope you and yours were able to enjoy the season thus far. So here we go and Much Love to you all :) .

Harvest...

Early on the seeds were sown, rains watered the soil; weeds were pulled away. A strong crop grew from the Earth as time effort and love was places in the labor of each and every day. The seeds took root as the steams rose strong and tall, time has come to collect what was given back out of hard work and love. Take back the product of the seeds so they may be planted again. With each new growth there will be deeper roots as the leaves touch the sun once again...

Blessings...

Can you count them high, can you count any? Even within the mist can you see any lights meant to guide your way. Can you find the spots of sun and joy among the storm of the seemingly endless everyday. Can you be thankful and grateful for times of slow pace as well as quite among the chaos? Find them all when you have time to stop and think on just how many there may be in your life.

YearPast...

Told not to dwell yet hard not to as it just doesn't seem to want to end. Count the ways, counting down waits not for the chime of the New Year's clock. Each day one more off the list, each event simply another reason to want No... To see a measure of time be over done and buried deep below within in memory. Not at all sorry to see such a time of hardship go... ⏳⌛

Feast...

Bring it all together, much like a family in it's own way

Turkey is the matriarch all circle around it as the glue that holds things together

Sides such as the roles, gravy, stuffing and salads bring forth the next generation as they are dished out to be served

Pot luck are the in-laws coming from all sides being accepted as well as bringing their own yam-a-low to the gathering

Everyone take a seat and dig in after giving thanks, the family feast is about to begin

Gratitude...

Sharing a smile even when it's hard to do

Showing kindness and compassion to all

Giving of yourself without exception

Knowing when to offer words and when to listen

Being a helping hand, passing on strength

Being a light in this world that can seem to be full of nothing but darkness

Doing all these things and more if and when you need to pick another up as you were one shown the same care...

3Days...

Shared in some places

Our tradition now based on a festival

Once a time of harvest, celebrating and giving thanks to the land

Gather not only the bounty but be joyous in continued human life

Days 3 of being thankful for simply being alive

NoTurkey...

Been this way for years

Moved on from ham as well

The Cornish hen made only one appearance

This days the meals to be thankful for consist of the everyday

Home made is the pizza, dress up the mushroom ravioli

Yet the greatest meal of thanks is a taco feast dressed to the nines

The meal matters little, the care of those who share it matters most

TravelTime...

Pack it in, make your way

See the faces you may only see once in a year

Can we all be together for a time

Each branch of the tree will do their best

Collection of singles make a special whole

Share in times where memories hopefully bring joy

Pack it in, return to your homes

Faces as they are will remain until next time their together in the heart

Such times no matter the circumstances should be shared by all

Tradition...

To each their own, things done on special days

Gather together, spend time to yourself

Partake in song in dance, play a spirited game or two

Kick back and relax in time spent away from stress

Place decorations upon the walls in preparation for holidays to come

Eat a hardy meal, food coma follows soon

Think on a day spent in time caring for those you choose to and you

DroughtRain...

Long has it been since tears from the sky touched the ground. The land cakes cracked dry lines curl towards the sun. Those working the land look to the heaven's, call forth the water's trapped above. Finally lightning pierce the clouds, down pour is healthy and plentiful. Soon the land returns to life, soon the harvest can begin...

PrayersThanks...

Words sent towards the universe have been answered. Called upon the force greater than the one and life was granted. The harvest has been tough but plentiful. Hearts were troubled yet now they can find peace in rest. Another year of collecting comes to a close, take stock in blessings for all that was gained while thinking kindly on what was lost...

DanceSong...

Gather in collection, every bunch no matter the size has the right to celebrate. To dance to the motions of life, to sing in tune with the call of a heart that has kept beating through the toughest of times. Look upon the past not in concern but in praise that it's been over come. Look upon the future in hope, hope that no matter what your strength no matter the quantity is more than enough to over come anything.
