Gratitude

I am thankful for my eyes opening to this day
This sun in my face through my window, my covers
I am thankful for an easy rest last night
For warmth and good food
I am thankful for my son
For the stories he tells
For his health and safety
I am thankful for my family
For my friends
Dear Vanessa
I am thankful for Vanessa and for her health
For her courage
For her every breath
Her smile
I am thankful for her comfort
Even in hospital
I am thankful for love and generosity
I am thankful for the love I have for myself
For happiness
Even for joy
So excited for joy
