At the Stone Salad festival there were tabletop decorations where people could write what they were thankful for. After I gathered all the trees to be reused for future years, I took each of the leaves off the tree, I decided to write down what everyone wrote to share with people who were not able to attend the festival in person this year. I hope you find it as heartwarming as I did. This is what people wrote in random order. I am thankful for:

• My family (x3)
• Water
• Festivals
• Me
• My home
• Helping
• Mommy (spelled Momy)
• People
• Books
• Fun
• Trees
• Love
• Long Conversations
• Home
• Good food
• The seasons
• Amy, Jeannie, Joe, and Butters
• Hugs
• Everyone in the world

I hope reading that put a smile on your face. Remember there is no platform at Green Hedges this Sunday. See you in December.
