For these things...

Community, in strange and likely places
Sunlight blinking through autumn leaves
Places, and people, of refuge
Birdsongs
Water, rocks, and wind
Music
Friends’ voices
The ability to be peaceful, alone
All the things that challenge me
Shelter, food, and the means to care for myself
Education
Self-confidence and strength; the more because I’ve fought for it
All those who love me, and all whom I love
Being part of creation, swirling around the heart of God
Grace everywhere it is found (which is, everywhere)

…I am thankful.
