thankful for my family, and how it has been growing / changing
for music, how it uplifts the spirit
for food, especially the home-cooked variety
friends, new ones and old
a book of Walter Brueggemann's prayers, Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth
hot tea in a ceramic mug, warm against my cheek
the coffee smell on my clothes and skin when I come home from my barista job
beautiful sunsets, & sunrises [and friends who love them too!]
my nephew, nieces, and little nephew on-the-way
doing laundry (maybe a weird thing to be thankful for, but I just so enjoy it)
baking, and sharing it with others / giving it away
hand-written letters
Just to name a few . . . there are numerous other things, people, places, actions I am thankful for, but for now it is off to dream-land I go. Night.
