First Snow and Words

Thanksgiving is coming up in a few days- and I guess I should reflect on what I am thankful for:

I am thankful for Winter and Autumn and for being able to feel the cold and see the stars and for being there when the first snow of the season falls in my yard.

I am thankful for the day I almost didn’t go to find a dog and decided to at the last minute and I found out when I signed his adoption papers that he was going to be put down that night. He saved me that year. It’s funny how that worked out.

As narrow as it might read, the truth is I am most Thankful for that switch that got thrown in my brain and gave me the ability to write.

I might not be the best, I might only ever be read  on this blog, I might actually really suck at writing.

But this is what I do and who I am and I am thankful that if I could only do one thing well, this is that one thing.
