I am grateful to be here again today.  I am grateful to be sitting at my desk, which used to be my Dad’s desk, writing about life.  I am grateful to pick a different color pen every day. I am grateful to be able to go upstairs and eat a good breakfast.  I am grateful that I don’t feel nauseated and tired all the time. I am grateful that I survived chemo. I am grateful that my husband is still here after all the fear and pain he’s had to share with me.  I am grateful that I am working on my mission. I am grateful that later today I get to make music or write inspiring things or craft my social presence. I am grateful that I can still go outside, that the weather is good enough, that the planet has not collapsed just yet.  I am grateful for this glimpse of peace, this quiet moment. I am grateful today, right here, right now.
