It is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world. Mary Oliver.
2025 is sorting out with some seriously huge count your blessings moments. moments that might be overlooked as we wallow in the cold, dark dreary days seated in front of a computer not doing something we love.
what I mean to say rather un-eloquently but with massive amounts of gratitude is that:
- my house and the house of my 9,999 neighbors has not burned down.
my bluebird skies 
Yes, you are such a role model in gratitude. You’re so correct!
My house didn’t burn down today.
I didn’t get deported today.
Today, my belly is full and I am warm. I am not homeless.
Today, my health is good.
Today I watched 2 dogs play and bark together and I heard a 5 year old human laugh.
Blessings and gratitude all around!
Thank you Carla!
