Thanks for Nothing

Thanks for nothing.
Cambridge dictionary defines this saying as such:
“used to show you are annoyed when someone has done something you are unhappy about or has failed to help you in some way:”
Very easy to feel and say to whoever or whatever your higher power is, “Thanks for nothing!” in 2020 yes?
But in this unrivaled season of disappointment as to how I thought the year should go, all the “somethings” I had calendared, there is a lot of nothing I am thankful for. Actually, with 2020 vision, I am now seeing what a blessing to have “nothing” on my calendar so many days this year.
Nothing very often turned into incredible “somethings”, I would not normally have experienced in a “normal” year. With “nothing” to do, I spent more days with my dog Schulz (who has been the beneficiary of more time and love than ever (win!)) walking, hiking, driving through and noticing how all of nature, the universe and all in it, whether looking high or low, reveal the Creator’s handiwork and declare His glory all around me.

 

“Nothing” has been blowing my mind all year. The smells and colors of spring, summer and fall. More sunrises and sunsets witnessed and photographed than ever before.

Visiting and photographing a group of wild turkeys day after day in the spring, mating and singing their songs and dancing their dances. Deer, elk, coyotes, foxes. Ants, bugs, butterflies and fish.

Stars, comets and meteors. Getting off my rear and away from the 24/7 news coverage (arguably its own pandemic) of pandemics of virus, racial injustice, natural disasters, an exhausting election cycle, the list goes on and on, to go observe with all my senses, first hand, the world and universe we live in, and to truly marvel at nothing.

Perhaps God, the universe, whatever you believe in, maybe you believe in NOTHING, has been blessing us with the most precious gift of all: time. Time to see, hear, smell, touch, feel, wonder, marvel, and be thankful for time to be more and do less.

One day we’ll surely be able to look back with 2020 vision and actually be thankful for something this year – Nothing.
Happy Thanksgiving! ~ Schulz, Garrett & Kellie
