Lovely photos on your Thanksgiving day walk. It's comforting for me also, as you say, "I am deeply grateful to have time to be there in peace and joy, and to have no one in my life any more who is disruptive to that peace." What an awesome feeling to be free from the drama others seek to bring to your life.

You also point out that of course, there is trouble in the world and we undoubtedly encounter it. That part is promised. But we don't have to embrace it, place it on our shoulders, and bear the brunt of it in our daily lives.

Thanks for sharing your walk. Have a wonderful weekend.
