Happy Thanksgiving in the U.S. and for those who celebrate!

Thanksgiving has always been my favourite holiday, even though it isn’t widely celebrated here in Ireland. Part of the charm, I suppose, is that it stands apart from the noise. There’s no required belief, no commercial frenzy, no pressure to perform. Just a simple invitation to pause and notice what’s good.

And I know, with everything happening in the world, gratitude can feel almost naïve. But I’ve learned that this is exactly when it becomes essential. We’ve been trained to focus on chaos, to critique, to complain, to assume the worst. It takes intention to turn away from the loudness and listen for the quiet, steady goodness that is still unfolding all around us.

People have called me a "Pollyanna" for encouraging others to see beauty everywhere. But that practice has carried me through some of the hardest moments of my life. When you start treating beauty like a treasure hunt, everything shifts. You return to that childlike curiosity that once came so naturally. You start noticing the gentle things again, the kindness of strangers, the shimmer of light on water, the way a simple moment can soften the whole day.

When you look for good, you find it. And when you find it, it changes you.

So today, no matter where you are, no matter what is happening in the world or in your own life, I hope you permit yourself to look for the small wonders. Let gratitude steady you. Let beauty surprise you. Let love be the thing you reach for first.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Captured back in 2017, this view of sunrays pouring over the fields of Crovraghan and the Shannon Estuary feels especially fitting on this Monday of Thanksgiving Week 2025. 

Nature has a way of reminding us that even as the years pass, its quiet gifts continue to appear for us… If we take a moment to look.

The Owenslieve River at the Lissycasey Cascades flows with a kind of wild grace, weaving its way through autumn colours in the heart of County Clare. 

The water rushes over the falls and curls around mossy stones, carrying the soft light of the season as it moves. A reminder that even the smallest rivers can hold entire worlds of beauty when we pause to notice.

Thanksgiving offers a gentle pause in the rhythm of life, and this quiet corner of County Clare felt like the perfect place to share that spirit.

To everyone traveling this weekend, safe journeys and peaceful moments along the way. May the road rise kindly to meet you.

And wherever you find yourself today, may you be reminded to be grateful for the small things, the fleeting light, the colours of the season, and the simple joy of taking a breath and noticing the world around you.

Remember to See Beauty Everywhere.

This morning’s sunrise rose like a quiet miracle over the little country road outside my County Clare home. 

The trees stood bare and graceful against a sky that felt almost heavenly, while a soft frost touched the roadside greenery with a silver glow. 

It may be the finest sunrise of the season, a moment that felt both humbling and deeply alive.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and beginning of Thanksgiving Week in the U.S.!
