Gratitude

I am thankful for this day
For the sun in the sky
For being with my family
For love and patience and kindness
I am thankful for a good workout this morning
I am thankful for my health and safety
For food and shelter
I am thankful for my son
I am thankful for connections and love and ties
For conversations and history
I am thankful for friends and easy
I am thankful for making a difference
For change
For same
I am thankful for art, poetry, beauty, sound, music, words
I am thankful for quiet
For parks and beaches
For water
For still
