That I am what I am.
That I can go back to sleep off this cold that has deposited rattly grey crud on the tops of my lungs.
For the wonderful dreams I had last night and this morning, dreams I spent an hour just now transcribing from scribbled bedside notes.
That I know what I know, believe what I believe, do what I do.
Not to forget to be grateful. Gratefulness is as life-giving as peevishness is life-draining.
Lest I forget to be grateful, I’m going to make it a practice to add a few words of gratitude here from time to time. I’m happy to be able to do it.
I am grateful for all the things I can do and for being able to see, hear, taste, smell, touch.
I am thankful for people who care.
I am grateful for each small, upward step I am able to make toward being the change I want to see in the world.
I am grateful for laughter, something I fondly remember.
I am grateful for remembering to be grateful once in a while.
