Thankful.

Sometimes I worry that my gratitude lists are a result of uncreativity; but I want to be thankful over and over...

for my roommates

and my mother's touch;

for quiet times in my kitchen, by the glow of Christmas lights

and the laughter of friends

as we enjoy each other on a night out

(or in).

For complines

and forgiveness

and direction

and voices I love

and mutual understanding.
