This Solstice day, I take a moment and invite myself to count some of the things I am, at the moment, abundantly grateful for. So, in no particular order, I begin.
My little family. My girls (Aurora and Sollie) and my man (Robert), have made, and continue to make my life what it is; amazing, beautiful, surprising, tender, loving, grounded, sweet, and above all, full of honesty and truth. Thank you. Every single one of you. I love you.
Aurora. You have grown so much older and wiser of late, and I am so enjoying getting to know you as who you are now; your own person. I cherish the time we have spent together lately, and am honored that you choose to do crazy and fun things with me. You touch my heart. Thank you. I love you.
Sollie. You are an amazing kid. I am inspired by your courage. You live out loud, and beautifully. I am grateful for your emotional presence, and your beautifully vulnerable heart. And your hair. I’m grateful for the fun we’re having with it. Thank you. I love you.
Robert. You astound me. Everyday. I am grateful to be growing old(er) with you. I love the way you hold me; heart and body. There’s so much I could say, but here’s what I will; I’m grateful for the new doorways that are opening in our hearts, and in the world. Thank you. I love you.
My larger family. You know I can’t list you all – it would take the whole page. But I love you and am grateful for you in my life. Even when we all make each other crazy. Life isn’t always easier for it, but it is for sure more interesting for having each one of you in it. Thank you. I love you.
New friends. You know who you are. There are a number of you, and I’m not gonna call you all out one by one. But know that I am hugely grateful for the new beauty you’ve brought to me. My heart is renewed and expanded by the loving tenderness and wild fun you all have shared with me. Thank you. I love you.
Old friends. And you know who YOU are, too. Know that I am so grateful to have a place in your heart. Your continued dedication to our relationship brings me courage and joy. Thank you. I love you.
My wee little garden. I love the smell of the tomatoes and the herbs as I water them in the morning. Green growing things, you bring my heart sweet succor and my body joy. Thank you. I love you.
The wilds and wilderness. I feel welcomed back to your embrace like a long lost love. It’s amazing to journey in and with you. You call out to my deepest places, and I’m honored to answer back. Thank you. I love you.
Everyone of you out there. You inform and form my life with me. Thank you for your place in my life. Your presence on the other side of the screen inspires me to create and express. Thank you. I love you.
The world, solar system, and beyond. I am grateful to live in this here, and this now. Thank you. I love you.
I wanna tag people, but I can’t tag you all!!! So just read this. All of you. And tell me what you’re grateful for, if you feel inspired to do so.
On your page, if you want, and tell me here so I can go see it.
I effing love you all.
