We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in this part of the world but I'd like to wish all members of this den who do, a very HAPPY Thanksgiving.


Poem Artwork


It's a good day to celebrate
in the grand scheme of things
How often are we grateful,
& take flight on joyful wings?
It's so easy to grumble,
to complain and to sigh
Not as easy to be thankful
as life quickly passes by.
Even in the darkest hour
there's a glimmer of hope
Even after tragedy,
remembering this has helped me cope.
I've been able to say 'Thank You!'
for all those little things
- The adventure that is life
and the surprises that it brings.
In this I've learnt a lesson
that will always take me through
A lifestyle of remembrance
that each day begins anew...

Chanti, you are very blessed. I don't know what it is like to have real love, but I wish you and Edwin all the best. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn and determined to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still very sad and terrified little sister, Barbie

Lovely poem, Chanti. Gratitude is always beautiful to behold. I see there's another romance going on on the Den. I take a little time off and fall out of the loop again it seems. Congratulations to you and Edwin. :-) He sounds like a godsend. Many more blessings and much joy to you both. ~~Nordette

Chanti, your beautiful, shining, loving and very giving spirit shines through this joy-filled write such that it is impossible not to feel moved with an intense attitude of gratitude for the very breath of life that you breath across our page. You wish untold happiness and contentment for everyone... and such bounces straight back at you tenfold! Thank you for sharing the source of your life and love with us and for illustrating in such illuminated colours what it truly means to love to the uttermost - and to be loved. I had no idea that you had been going through such deep and dark waters, and I, too, am grateful that Ed The Great was your guardian angel, holding onto you and guiding you through.. My love and very best wishes to both of you, and my gratitude, too, for your loving thoughts and prayers on my behalf - and for your untold support and appreciation of my work. YOU are a great healer, Lady! :)) LOL Kate xx

I hope the two of you have many long years together. There is nothing like finding the right person and seeing that person through hard times. I have an "Ed" too and he is the love of my life. Blessings, Chanti

This is beautiful as well as very warm and fuzzy, Chanti. Thank you for your warm wishes for our holiday. Thanksgiving is the day of the Harvest feast and by tonight I am going to be feeling uncomfortable for enjoying so much of that worderful feast.
Take care,

This is beautiful, Chanti. I know Edwin knows he's blessed. I, too, have been blessed by your friendship. It is impossible to tell you how much or to offer enough thanks.

My love to you,
