Tonight, I am grateful:

that Jonny, Millie, and I are all alive.
that our house did not burn down.
that I have a friend like Dana who says yes, come over when I need to come over.
that my husband stayed home all day to make sure the house was okay.
that Millie is curled up next to me on the couch and breathing okay and living her life.
that our parents care about us and are alive.
for laughter.
for freedom.
for friends I have known for over 15 years.
that I have layers of clothing to wear and blankets to pile on me when I am cold.
for the creativity that is aflame inside me.
