19 Oct Grateful
Even if all I did for the rest of my days was express gratitude, it would not be enough time for all of the things I feel grateful for. (and I plan to live to 100).
Here is a very very short list
- my health and the health of my whole family
- my body
- my hair
- my partner
- my daughter
- my family
- my parents
- my in-laws
- my sisters and brother
- my friends
- my mind
- the night sky
- stars
- redwood trees
- my ‘boss’
- my work that feeds me body and soul
- our beautiful, warm, light, and lived-in Home
- Lake Merritt and the way it brings cultures and skin colors together
- the Grand Lake Theatre – its beauty, the way it proclaims and embodies its value for justice
- our neighbors – their love of Eyla and Lovie and plants and bikes!
- my whale mug
- jasmine pearl tea and whoever it is who rolled up each of the leaves
- Eyla’s confidence
- my parents’ fierceness
- my 5-year journal
- this day off from work
- pink clouds in the morning
- the view of trees outside our kitchen window
- the moon
