Giving Thanks

Things that I am grateful for on this, and every, glorious day:

Coffee
Good books
Words that send my mind reeling
Poetry that sparks my heart
Quotations that feed my soul
My mind
My heart
My soul
Music
Particularly live music
Dancing
Singing
Frolicking
Nature
And all that it entails
Rain
Sun
Snow
Grass
And what it feels like between my toes
Sand
And what it feels like between my toes
Being barefoot
Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall
The smell of seasons changing
The smell of the beach
Being alone
Not being alone
Hugs
Kisses
My family
My mother in particular
My friends
Laughter
Infectous laughter
Side spliting, eye watering, all consuming laughter
Love
Infectous love
Side splitting, eye watering, all consuming love
Morning
The sun
Day
The clouds
Night
The moon
The stars
What it feels like learning something new
Hot showers
The way the city lights up around Christmas
The way summer nights seem to last forever
The middle of nowhere
The middle of everything
Traveling
Our differences
Our similarities
Watching candles burn down into nothing
Movies that dare to be different
People that dare to be different
Kindred spirits
My freedom
My happiness
My life
The world
The universe
The infinite abyss
This day
And all the days that have come before
And all the days to follow

That this list could go on forever...
