I’m grateful for being 41
I’m grateful for another year
I’m grateful for the challenges in front of me
I’m grateful for the failures behind me
I’m grateful for the blue jays that live in my yard
I’m grateful for having a voice and finally being less afraid to use it
I’m grateful for my animal companions
I’m grateful for the outdoors and the healing power of the water
I’m grateful for surviving this far
I’m grateful for the taste of coffee
I’m grateful that the body I’ve shown so much hate continues to love me unconditionally
I’m grateful for my unshakeable support system
I’m grateful for the power of community
I’m grateful for the smell of cooking garlic
I’m grateful for the joy of seeing others thrive
I’m grateful that my experiences have pushed me
I’m grateful for always learning and growing
I’m grateful for the inner voice that always says I can do better
I’m grateful for the other one that lets me know when it’s time to rest
I’m grateful for music and theatre
I’m grateful for expression and love
I’m grateful for the fucking insane cake I made
I’m grateful for being 41.
- me
