thankfuls...

I see my fellow bloggers write about what they are grateful/thankful for on a regular basis,

I have yet in 80 posts on my "still adolescent blog" compared to some I follow,

to do the same... until now

so post "81"

my "Thankfuls"

• for my creative but not artistic abilities and the opportunity to share them
• for the loved ones in my life who outnumber the enemies a "billion" to one
• for the one in a billion enemies who keep my loved ones on their toes...
• for you who read my posts, and allowing them to touch you as they do me
• for my 4 legged fur kids who provide laughter and unconditional love
• for my ability to have become who I am... despite my beginnings
• for humility...

• for the amazing world that we live in and the symphonys' it performs on a daily basis
• for a spiritual Holy presence that wraps each of my footsteps with a solid foundation
• for my faith community who welcomed me in as I am... completely
• for the moments of "plugged in - ness" where the words come faster than the fingers can type
• for abundance
• for those I can lean on and who will carry the load when I cannot

• for the sun that shines in my soul, even when the rain clouds obscure the sky
• for laughter and the ability to see that gift on others faces
• for those who champion a cause at any cost, so that others may be free from oppression

for all of this and more, I am thankful... 

thankful that today was another I was blessed to be here in this place,

and that maybe something I did or something I said, 

touched someone who needed just what I had to offer this day...

may it be so....
