I’m grateful for another day where oxygen filled my lungs.

I’m grateful for the flexibility to take a day off.

I’m grateful for breakfast in bed.

I’m grateful for messages, gestures, calls, texts from people coast to coast.

I’m grateful for at-home, self-given manicures.

I’m grateful for time to read (started Untamed by Glennon Doyle and so far it’s wonderful and powerful).

I’m grateful for the several hundred of you that show up here every day. To read my words. My words. What?!?

I’m grateful for the talents I’ve been given and the talents I’ve fostered.

I’m grateful for Charles. Always.

I’m grateful for being able to hear my birth story via my mother’s voice every year. It never changes, but I look forward to it every year. I hope to hear it straight from her for another 36 years or more.

I’m grateful that I have three nephews to shower with love.

I’m grateful for coffee.

I’m grateful for cake made by friends.

I’m grateful for it all.

See you tomorrow, friends.
