I Am Grateful and Thankful

In this holiday Break, I am compelled to think of reasons for which I am grateful and thankful:

• for my body for carrying me as I push it hard. . .please continue to hold me
  
• for my evolving sense of self and of what I am capable
• for the people in my life who love me, know me in one context and were afraid for me to make this decision to evolve my life. . . and their subsequent support
• for my strength to choose and live life despite their fears
• for my strength to choose and live life despite my fears
  
• for the people in my life who love me, and because they know me in a different context, could support and encourage me generously as I wrestled with and made my decision to evolve my life
• for my sister Fran who, despite her own challenges, leaves me inspirational phone messages
• for my brothers and sisters who support me with time to do what I must 
• for those who are unaware that how they live sustains me
• for inner powers, awakening and activating
  
• for the supportive energy of those passed but still with me
