Still thankful.

I did not start the daily posts on social media this year, because I will be traveling much of the month and unable to post, and because I'm still feeling unsettled and uncertain.  To some degree the whole year has been that way.

I try to remember that there is always something for which to be thankful, such as (this week) the right to vote, the ability to vote, and having that vote matter.  People willing to step up despite the ridicule and bullying and other tactics aimed against them.

We've had rain, and sunshine, and the red and goal leaves glitter and shimmer and I am very thankful that I can see them, and  the blue of the sky, and smell the wetness and the scent of plants and flowers during my walks, and feel the sun and wind, and know that every day is full of possibilities and potential.
