Well.     .     .

Would   you.       .       .

C  O  U  L  D     Y O U

win the  LAST  BROWNIE ?

I love this clip from Notting Hill

courtesy from Wing Clips

at the beginning of the week of

T        H        A        N        K        S        G        I        V        I        N        G

It’s an amazing scene, isn’t it?

Each guest sitting around the table trying to vie

for the last-very-much-wanted-Brownie

by telling their own personal tale of woe–

the very saddest of which

w     i     n     s

The Brownie.          .          .

So what’s    Y  O  U  R     Story.      .      .      ?

Would  you  focus  on

your  lack  of  income

your  lack  of  good  looks

your lack of incredible health

your lack of physical mobility or skills

your lack of a great relationship

your lack of professional standing

your lack of awareness of just how good you actually do

H     A     V     E          I     T  ?

Even  on  a  Thanksgiving  Week

it’s  sad  isn’t  it,

that so much of our lives are consumed with thinking

about what we Lack in LIFE

than all of the things we have overwhelming been blessed?

S          O         M         E         T         I         M         E         S

it actually takes a traumatic experience

or at least

a  severely  rugged  turn  of  events

to  make  the  mundane  blessings

we  usually  take  for  granted.     .     .

Like the familiar old adage:
