ramblings from an arkansas farm girl

G is for Give

By

Give generously.
Recognize life’s blessings and
Abundant gifts.
Create a peaceful, loving
Enviroment.

Give with spirit
Remembering what is real and
Important. Tell the
Tale, no matter how difficult.
Someone, somewhere needs to hear.

Give thanks to Mother Earth, live in
Awe of her
Remarkable splendor.
Dream and keep the faith
Even when twisty vines
Never produce fruit.
It is in the
Natural, selfless
Giving that we receive.

Today I am participating in a week of ThanksBlogging with Arkansas Women Bloggers.  Today’s challenge is to take a photo of something I am thankful for and enhance it with Pic Monkey.

Highway 140, Mississippi County, Arkansas
I am thankful to have been raised on a farm,
where I learned the smell and feel of dirt,
where a traffic jam means being stuck behind a tractor.
I breathe it in, hold it inside, take it with me.
