Long, long week. I was fed up and (at the same time) happy that I had not thrown in the towel. I'm being pushed, not stretched. I know this. A girlfriend called and asked if I wanted to meet up at a club for a night of dancing. Normally I would have jumped at the chance, but I am simply tired. I knew that there was a gathering at a quiet pub and that several of my friends would be there. I wanted to sit, to catch up. I needed to cool off mentally.
As soon as I walked in and caught sight of the first two at the table, my mood lifted. And the evening just got better. Great conversation, wide-open laughter, hugs...it was like medicine for me. I got home early, I slept well. This morning, I am reminded once again of all for which I am grateful. I could never make a complete list. It fills me. I am so thankful for the awareness of my blessings. The way I fill my hours in the day will be worked out. This will come to resolution. My life (the experience), and my living (not how I earn it) are such an adventure. Such a simple, pleasant, thrilling, excellent adventure.
My Gratitude

For sweet voices and the gift of familiar converse, I am grateful.
For time spent 'round the table, I am grateful.
For answers attempted to questions stammered, I am grateful.
For allowing tears to fall when they must, I am grateful.
For each day old friends grow older still - together, I am grateful.
For the opening of a circle to form one anew, I am grateful.
For yesterday, for today, for tonight, for tomorrow, I am grateful.
