I am grateful for the experience of breath entering my being and being noticed upon waking.
I am grateful for the little neon red headed child that crawled all over me and asking question after question to wake me up this morning.
I am grateful for little boys growing big yet, still young enough to run through the house in their underwear--- making wild monkey noises.
I am grateful to see my friend, my lover, my husband sleep peacefully next to me.
I am grateful to see the mess in my living room and kitchen this morning that shows me I have things to do to help fill my day and a home to do them in.
I am grateful for the opportunity to see my shortcomings so that I can have the choice to become a better person through conscious thought and action.
I am grateful to have had the privilege of living in the projects for the last couple of years as it has given my family warmth and shelter and a thirst to do better.
I am grateful to have a porch and tiny yard space to plant seeds and have the opportunity to watch things grow.
I am grateful for the touching of fingertips through cyberspace that have allowed for me to experience connections in a way that I would never have understood or realized possible.
I am grateful for the people that have chosen to experience parts of this life journey with me.
I am grateful for my family: my husband, my children, my brothers and my mother.
I am grateful for the knowlege of all things connected even when I am unsure of the ripple patterns.
I am grateful for breath, today.

May the sacred fill my being and show me the path of compassion. May I love you more today than I ever thought possible. May you be filled with love and connection.

I wish for you a moment of love that spans the ages.

Blessings )O(
