I am grateful...
- That I got up early and did a great meditation.
- For yoga! Finally! It was wonderful to feel my body move and stretch after 6 weeks of careful inactivity.
- To spend some time with the babies, SiennaJane and Everett, splashing around in a little pool in the santa ana sun and laughing.
- That when Sienna was pretending to be a dog and I said "Shake!" she did a shimmy and shook her whole body, without a clue that I meant shake hands. It was adorable and hilarious.
- That when I was saying goodbye to Sienna she grabbed my hand and after I said "I love you" she said "I lub you too. But I don't want you to go, and that's why I am holding yours fingers", looking up at me with her gigantic watery blue eyes. To be loved completely by a 3 year old is one of the most amazing things I have ever felt. Talk about gratitude...
- To my sister for thanking me for always being there to help her out. It feels really good to receive some gratitude too.
- To my mom for taking me to the mall and buying me new bras. I felt like a 13 year old, but in a good way.
- That someone I have known and loved for 22 years (his whole life) has 30 days sober today!
- For the time I spent today with that someone, just drinking coffee and talking about life and maybe getting a little too meta (sorry, C).
- For the experience I just had. I was walking Derby and she paused to pee under a tree. I stood there, looking up, and as I did the breeze hit just right and a flurry of purple flowers shook loose from the tree and snowed down upon me as if I were in a Disney movie. There is much magic in this world, if only our eyes and ears are open to receive it. I'm grateful that in that moment, mine were.
