Gracias...

Giving thanks after 58 years of life...

I am thankful for life and what it’s brought me. For my husband and my daughter. For all my family members and good friends. For my creativity and lust for life and love. For my beautiful surroundings, for the pounding of the ocean which gets inside my skin. For the pink sunrises that I have experienced and the beautiful sunsets and bright orange skies. For the stars that make me company as I look up at the heavens every night. For my hands and my eyes that bring me visions of color and form. For my ears that tingle with the sound of the chimes, for my brain which helps me analyze and resolve. For my nose that fills with joy when it smells a beautiful plumeria. For my heart which often rides a rollercoaster and for my soul which I am trying so hard to keep plentiful.
