What Are You Grateful For Today?

Grateful for crossing paths with the wild things today. They keep me entertained, distracted, grounded, hopeful, and grateful.

Today's visitors included a coyote, a deer mama and baby, about two dozen+ robins, about 3 dozen+ crows, a sweet little baby rabbit, another deer munching on the apple buffet, and the other daily regulars like cardinals, finches, bluebirds, sparrows, june bugs, flutter bys, honey and bumble bees, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Just a quick visit to the nearest town is enough to make me even more grateful to be surrounded by nature vs. the concrete jungle. The energies everywhere are feeling more intense than ever.
 
The school where I work is a great community. I am grateful I get to help take care of the animals. The mini donkeys and sheep and chickens and turkeys are therapeutic for me. Especially the donkeys. They are so affectionate and just want to lean into your soul. It’s impossible to feel depressed when they are standing in front of me begging for pets and love. They’re so cute and innocent. The turkeys make me smile. They are two sisters with black feathers and they do everything in unison, like curious nuns saying, “Oh, wow,” over and over again as they explore their world.
 
Thank you (God) for:

-this beautiful day
- dear friends, close and across virtual miles
- for my sister who though dying is positive and at peace, and I can still make laugh
- for understanding my other sister's burnout, after having 'been there'
- for the kindness of people to book me for something I give up on, and rejected
-for not burning down myself and the house after falling asleep on top of the bed when just going there for shoulder pain, with my face still on and the house wide open and unlocked and a crooked candle burning
-that our dog is still 'here'
-for 2nd 3rd 4th 5th.. + chances :notworthy:
 
I am grateful that the Senior Center director for our county delivered some Ensure to me. I got Butter pecan and Chocolate flavors. These are healthy drinks, protein, vitamins etc. When I don't feel like cooking, these sustain me. When I drink them, my blood work comes out very well.
