Gratitude 8.3.09

I am grateful for my garden, and my family to share it with. I love the smallness of us, and the huge-ness, too. I'm just grateful for outdoors, and water, and plants and life. I am grateful for learning each day to release and allow life to exist, to be, to stretch and grow. I am grateful for my daughter's voice, her smile, her laugh, her eyes - full of wonder. I am grateful for my husband's compassion, his inquisitive nature, his natural tendency to nurture, his sense of humor, his at-home-with-me self that no one else knows, his undying support - so strong it's difficult to accept at times. I am grateful... for my garden, my family, for life, for us. Just what we are, where we are.
