Here are the last Tankafuls for the month of November.
Nov 22nd
Ding-dong-ding – doorbell
Unexpected so early
Saturday morning
Grateful love spans long distance

Nov 23rd
Is it good enough??
Imposter syndrome runs wild
Sharing art is risky-
Support in pursuit of dream

Nov 24th
Picture made for me
Little hands carefully drew
Us- two- together
Smiling, holding hands, our names
Student- teacher connection

Nov 25th
Fall’s bounty fills box
Apples, carrots, potatoes
Supporting local
Loved fresh produce through seasons
(So grateful for Sunscape Farms and the food they provide as well as their gorgeous flowers)

Nov 26th
Woman with backpack stops
Peruses the book titles
Swaps books- leave and take
Free Little Library used

Nov 27th
Thoughts of family missed
Filling my brain-smiles and tears
Joy and sad intwine
My Dad shows his needed love
(This tea bag is from the company my Dad worked at for many years. I keep it because it is the last one I have. It is always in my cupboard. I was missing my dad, mom and sister on the holiday. I opened my cupboard to get a mug and this happened to fall out. I believe it was my Dad telling me he is still near and making me smile. Grateful for this message of love from heaven)

Nov 28th
Gift of hockey game
4 tickets to Sabres game
Seats close to action
Team lost but joyful mom heart

Nov 29th
Chilly morning walk
Meeting dear out-of-town friends
Along canal path
Friendly chatter warmed the air

Nov 30th
Thirty Tankafuls
Written syllables of thanks
Daily life moments
Events- appreciative eyes

This daily practice of writing a poem focused on gratitude made me view my daily routines with different eyes. I was always on the lookout for a small ordinary moment that brought positivity to my day. Once you start looking, you notice many more than one item a day to be thankful for. I am thankful for those of you who read my poems.
