Thanksgiving. A magical time of year.

Is Thanksgiving a magical and thankful time of year for you?

Thanksgiving always reminds me of what I am thankful for and the magic of life … The connection to spirit, my wonderful wife, family and friends, our amazing dog Eldred, how lucky I am to live in Pittsburg on a beautiful river channel, and my deep connection to nature.

I see magic everywhere. In the changing colors of the trees, the Canada geese flying in formation overhead, the sound of frogs croaking on our back patio, the weather shifting from the heat of summer to the coolness of winter, and the sea lions who periodically surface as they swim by on the river behind our home.

Joan and I were discussing the similarities and differences of magic miracles. I see magic as created and transformed by Mother Nature. Whereas, I see miracles as an extraordinary event that surpasses all human powers. Yet, they do overlap. I am thankful for both magic and miracles. 

I hope your life is filled with magic and miracles. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones.

Is it time to escape to the woods?

Is it time to escape to the woods? Or, maybe somewhere in nature?

Joan, our dog Eldred and I took time Saturday to immerse ourselves in nature. We drove the tree-lined scenic Wild Cat Canyon. It is a two-lane road covered with native Oak trees all the way to the top of the Berkeley hills. The Canyon leads to Tilden Park and we pulled over at the Brazil building parking lot.
 
All three of us sat in the warm sunshine grass amphitheater, overlooking Tilden Park State Botanical Garden. The company and atmosphere were better than a hot tub soak. I am so thankful we could pause for our mini nature escape. Even more, during this month of Thanksgiving, I have a list I am thankful for.

I am thankful for: the life I was given, the ability to follow a spiritual path, the people in my life, the deep faith given to me by my Mother, the open doors during my life, the helpful hands each step of the way, the lessons I have been given, the lessons I have taken to heart, and so much more.
 
I see magical connections to the Great Spirit in all of Nature. There is so much magic all around us, and I love it all.

What are you thankful for? Call us if there is some special handyman or electrical project we can help you with for your Thanksgiving celebration.
