Fall colours are at their peak, it's starting to get cooler, and the birds are hauling ass outta town (wisely). 'Cause they know what's coming - but we're not going to think about that right now. Because this is what it looks like outside today:

| trees in my back yard |
 |
| birds getting the "flock" outta town |
 |
| not my pumpkin stand |
Beautiful.
So at the risk of being a total sap or sounding like a kindergarten teacher, I'm feeling the need to express my gratitude today. To give thanks, if you will, for all that I have. Because even though I'm so tired I'm having trouble focusing right now, I have so much to be thankful for I could cry. Truly. Here we go (in no particular order):
I'm thankful.....
- that I live in the most beautiful country in the world, and I have the freedom to express myself
- for the 2 wonderful men in my life - one big, one little
- for all my family and friends
- for my health, and my family's health
- for my home
- for food, and wine (again, no particular order)
- that I am able to be home with my son and not at work, even though it's making us poor
- and lastly, that I've finally found the piece that had been missing from my life - that which has allowed me to find new meaning and happiness everyday - motherhood.
There are days, I'll admit, when I forget to be damned grateful for all that I have. When I feel envious of others. When I wish I had more, better, different. And I have to stop and remind myself how fortunate I am.
But not today. Today, I feel nothing but gratitude. And love.
