to the plants on the path as i move forward
to the sun that shines brightly as i start my day
to my memory for reminding me of the good things
to the grass that calms and cools
to all the practices that keep me whole
to my body for keeping me warm
to the moon to the stars and night for providing rest and inspiration
to the people who have made the day feel lighter
to the work for teaching me how to push further and hold more
to the people who showed me how i was already capable
to the love in others hearts
to the hope that others feel
to the kind words and important words and special, meaningful words
to all the places i’ve been before and all the places i’ve never been
and to me for being me and being here and being the only person i can and know how to be
for continually growing
moving
changing
challenging
pursuing
reaching
finding
and for all of this
i give thanks
i give thanks
i give thanks
