It's Thanksgiving in the US today, and this year I am giving thanks not just for the big things, but for the little ones, too. For the banana pancakes, the impromptu magic shows, the phone calls from best friends, the perfect lipstick, the crayoned drawings, the olive oil soap, the finely woven sheets, the bedtime stories......
And the freshly picked clementines. Because so much of what makes life special lies in the details. And with that, let me share a freshly squeezed tale .
************************************
They took a walk in their garden. They held hands because it made them feel happy.
Their cat, Blinky, came too.
It was sunny in Marrakech. The bougainvillea matched a certain little girl's skirt.
They picked clementines from their own trees.
And they stored them in their specially designed clementine-catching hat.
They tasted delicious.
They sat on the grass. The little girl's skirt bloomed around her. Her mother thought she was quite possibly the prettiest flower in the garden.
The dog, Rocky, agreed with the mother's thinking. He was quite possibly the cleverest dog in the garden.....

Happy Thanksgiving from me to you. May your days be filled with freshly picked clementines, just poured hot coffee and brand new magazines....
