My Giving Gratitude (Blessed and Grateful) challenge is now done!
I finally cleaned off my altar and decorated it with artificial orange leaves, pumpkins, acorns, and pine cones, and one of those small brooms that smell like cinnamon for Mabon.
Unfortunately, the screw in part on one of the legs broke off. I think thatās from my tightening them too much. But some Gorilla Glue fixed the problem. Iām hoping the table will last for a few more years. I only paid $15 for it when I got it last year.
Anyway, after I was done decorating, I said a Draconic Gratitude Prayer that went something like this:
Tonight, I give thanks for all that I have.
I give thanks that I am healthy and alive as the pandemic rages on.
For my family.
For my job.
For my kitty.
For my best friend.
For the roof over my head.
For the food that nourishes me.
For my eyesight that allows me to admire the beauty of a autumn leaves each year.
For the Infinite Roots coven and their support.
For my talents of drawing and writing.
For all who have a hand in the creation of books, movies, TV shows, and video games, thank you for the entertainment your hard work has provided me.
And most of all, I give thanks to the Great Dragons, named and unnamed who continue to lend me their wisdom and strength.
