Gratitude

I'm sick. I have a cold and achiness. I suppose things can always be worse. Which is why this is my expression of gratitude (that and the recent holiday). I am thankful for my health, for my grandparents, my parents, my brother, for having great friends, for sleep, for compassion, for past love, for the potential promise of the future, for the capacity for and inevitability of change, for life. For things that put all the rest of it in perspective.
