Gratitude

7:12am. Home.

I am thankful this morning for waking up. For moments of being awake when I wasn't thinking about anything. There was no worry or concern. There was only the moment. There was only space. There was easy. I am thankful for my choice to not be on Facebook right now. To have my own emotions to  tend. To read my own thoughts. Listen to my own head. I am thankful for my choice to stop watching the crime shows that were my habit. There is a difference in my head with the absence of murdered, stabbed, raped, burned severely abused bodies to find. Killers and other abusers to capture.  I am thankful for knowing that I cannot consume abuse as entertainment any more. I have so much to do today. I am thankful for that. For all of the photos I have deadline to edit and send. For stories to write and contracts to sign and submit. I am thankful for work. For my family. For my son. God, watch over my son. I pray for my ability to stay in the moment. To remember to breathe. To play stories in my head that bring me happiness and health. Peace and loving thoughts. I am thankful today for me. For my self.
