Normally, I would be writing a piece about thankfulness and gratitude right now. But this year, we all know, there’s a lot of bad stuff happening around us. And I can’t be grateful or thankful for any of it.
Yet, my deep in my heart, I do feel grateful. Thankful. And hopeful. Go ahead and turn the page or call me crazy, but here it is anyway.
I am grateful and thankful for:
No pain this Thanksgiving.
Being able to bake sourdough rolls for Tday.
Making cranberry sauce.
Walking through my local park with energy to spare.
Lifting weights again. (Ok they’re only 2lbs, but it’s a start)
Healthy husband, kids, grandkids and doggy.
Creating in clay, paint, and yarn. (Although not at the same time, but it’s a thought?)
The couple who gave me their kiln and wheel so I could throw and fire clay.
People who support my creativity with sales and encouraging comments.
Meeting and sharing the creative journey with other artists and writers.
Writing here on Blogger and Substack.
There, I said it. Or rather wrote it anyway.
Sometimes I just have to do the weird thing.
Somebody has to, right?
Here’s hoping this day brings you some thankful and grateful things.
I’d love to hear yours in the comments.
