It's not still dark, it's not quite light...in the pale glow of in between the birds are chirping and the engines are starting the warm up before the morning drive to concrete prisons reaching for the sky. I'm so grateful that is not my life.
Rat races and fake faces...trying to get ahead by holding someone else back....stabbing them in the back....stress and mess and no fun at all...watching the clock count the minutes of ur 9-5 sentence ......I'm so grateful that is not my life as I wake my son up for school and get the first hug of the day with a warmth that only exists the first minute the covers come off, that sleep snuggly warmth.
I'm so grateful this is my life. I'm grateful that I have a son who loves me and has my back.
I'm grateful for every time and every way I was cheated on, walked on and stepped over...I'm grateful that road is over. They were some hard lessons, but I'm grateful for the knowledge of what not to do, or what to do instead.....
I'm grateful for a sister that has been there when I was too weak to pick the pieces of me up and put them back together...nothin helps more than a kick in the ass sometimes when all u want to do is curl up in a ball under the covers and never come out.
I'm grateful for the human spirit that beats inside of me that won't let me give up or completely shut down the desire to be with somebody no matter how badly I've been misused and abused...for that would surely be a sad existence.
I'm grateful for our earth, our country, and our freedom.
I'm grateful for butterflies and sunshine.
I'm grateful for those furious thunderstorms and rain showers that make u get out the candles and have some quiet time, or the storms u run out in just to play in the rain...."singing in the rain" was never so fun to sing
I'm grateful for sitting on the beach watching the water wash the sand away and watching the water reach to the horizon and realizing in the scheme of things...I am but a small spec in this universe....sometimes it actually feels good to be put into perspective, helps take some stress off.
I'm grateful I learned to love me.
I'm grateful I can hold my head up and say, "Now I'm proud of me, I'm starting to get "this" right...I am content in my own skin now, I am not embarrassed to say I am a good person, I have a lot to offer, and it's ur loss......" and every word is true now, and not just a goal.
