Gratitude

I am thankful for being home with Uraeus. I am thankful for the clients I worked with yesterday. Thankful I survived both shifts. Thankful for work. I am thankful for love in my heart. I am thankful for ease in my brain. For money. Food. Journals. This blog. For words, art, music, stories. I am thankful for the life of Aretha Franklin. I am thankful for the ac blowing cool air. Thankful for a landlord who pays the utilities. Thankful for books and friends. Thankful for friends. For poets. For storytellers. I am thankful for my mother. For my life.
