Being Thankful

You may have noticed, it's the month of November, a time we take to give thanks in many ways. On Facebook, many of my friends, including me, make a daily post on what we are thankful for.
Here at home, the kids and I made our "Box of Thanks". Every morning, at the beginning of the school day, after we light our candles and read our November poem, we sit down and write or draw a little note of what we are thankful for. We fold it, and stick in the box. On Thanksgiving Day, we will open the box, and take turns reading the notes out loud to each other. It is a wonderful way to start the day.

From the Waldorf Book of Poetry:

November

Now it is November,
Trees are nearly bare;
Red and gold and brown leaves
Scatter everywhere.

Dark now, are the mornings,
Cold and frosty too;
Damp and misty evenings
Chill us through and through.

Busy are all creatures,
Winter food to hide;
Nests to make all cosy,
Warm and safe inside.
