Thank you for intense or interesting dreams on rainy nights. Is it because of the weather or because the weather interrupts sleep at odd hours, unearthing dreams that otherwise would stay buried?

Thank you for the extra effort paid to my dreams for a little while. Recording dreams does show recurring aspects and maybe even growth over time.

Thank you for better moods for a stretch due to the milder weather.

Thank you for a funny tomato tune.

Thank you for growing freedom.

Thank you for awareness of responsibility.

Thank you for the amazing scent outside after the day of rain. Eucalyptus. Like smelling God! 

Thank you for the privilege to rest when feeling unwell.

Thank you for a comfy bed.

Thank you for wildlife under a full moon in the WUI.

Thank you for a three-day migraine ending.

Thank you for kindness and love. Thank you for when those qualities in us transform the qualities that are incompatible with them.

Thank you for hope, faith, love to realize that hurtful words or behavior reflect the offender’s own hurts and insecurities rather than the offender herself. She is worthy of love and kindness.

Thank you for hope, faith, love to let go and leave space for healing.

Thank you for un-dinner dinners, like berry oatmeal, noochy popcorn, and mint chocolate chip smoothies.

Thank you for how rough my skin feels when rubbed against the scarred pad of my right index finger. It reminds me of that saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Instead this might be, “softness is in the fingers of the feeler?” IDK. Sorry.

Thank you for time and prayers for healing and wellness.

Thank you for when I mess up and apologize afterward (like today). Even when I don’t mess up, sometimes there is uncalled-for apologizing. Other times an apology is totally called for (whether I mess up or not).  It may take away a little hurt and leave less bitterness toward humanity.

Thank you for hope that we will learn to show and feel not so much hate toward each other, but more love and forgiveness. Hopefully we will be more sensitive to how other people actually feel as a result of our harsh words and actions, our hasty attitudes. We all are human, we all make mistakes and face challenges, and no two people will agree on every little issue. It’s ok, we’re worthy of love. I don’t care if I say the same thing over and over, if it’s true. I’m so tired.

Thank you for my loving feelings for you.
