Writing Inspirations - gratitude

things i'm grateful for:

my charming neighborhood, where I can run around and feel completely safe.

friends who listen and laugh and empathize.

my joyful day job that allows me the opportunity to pursue the art that I love so much.

any and every kind of cheese.

chilly afternoons spent nestled beneath cozy blankets.

the calm that comes from having a clean, candlelit home.

mandy moore--her soft, whisper-sweet sort of singing voice.

the insight gleaned from jane austen's words.

old family games that can make me cackle until I can't breathe.
sweet treats.

holiday lights glowing throughout town.

morning endorphins, afternoon adventures, evening peace.
the absolute knowledge of who I am.

the warmth, the kindness that underlies this season.

and, above all, the health and happiness of my family and friends.
