Thankful. ..
That I met a dear friend a little more than 14 years ago and where our journey has developed.

That I moved to the Carolinas many years ago because I've met some amazing people and gotten to travel to some incredibly beautiful places.

Thankful that when I was facing soul crushing grief last year, a dear friend never let me down...then stood beside me again this year when I tried to correct some stupid decisions.

Thankful I have a home that allows me to go help close friends.. then how safe that home feels to return to.

Thankful for security, common sense and quiet, cool nights.

Thankful for a certain kind of pain that taught me lessons.

Thankful for kindness and gentleness.

Thankful for compassion.

Thankful that the news I received from a doctor recently wasn't near as bad as it could have been.
