I thought I'd give myself a bit of a day off for the holiday. Instead of a full on post I've decided to list some things I am deeply thankful for (I will continue to add to this list throughout the day):
- The family I was born into, they taught me kindness, simple joy, and give me more love then I'll ever know what to do with
- The family I have chosen, who trust me more than anyone else to be myself, no matter how messy and confusing
- My partner Strand, without whom I'm not sure how I could fight through my health problems, who's love makes all the hard conversations worthwhile.
- My friends, who are too varied and wonderful to account for in a single list
- Regular access to good food and a good kitchen
- Cycling/Bikes
- The energy and inspiration to write
- Poetry
- My colleagues, fellow poets, novelists and writers of all types, who give me such magical support
- My failures, which have taught me so much.
- A good pair of boots
- The financial flexibility to travel and make drastic changes in my diet
- Adventure
- Bathtubs
- A body that lets me know pretty instantly when something hurts or is wrong
- Ibuprofen
- Lotion
- Cuddles
- Empathy
- Life changing teachers
- Lists and the calm they bring me
- I've finally reached 50,000 (two days early woot!)
