I'm thankful for flowers. 

For they thrill my Fiona to the very edge of her soul.

Therefore thrilling me to the very edge of my own.

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.

Ryan often picks a flower for Fiona on his walk home from work.

The gesture alone is enough to melt my heart.

It's her expression and gratefulness upon receiving it that always leaves me in a puddle.

** I plan to count down the days until Thanksgiving with  thankful thoughts.
