thanksgiving

[harborshore]

1. I'm thankful for my family. Ever and always.


2. I'm thankful things are better than they were.


3. Old news by now, but I'm so thankful the US election went in the right direction.


4. I have no words for how thankful I am for the ceasefire in Gaza. My friend is safe (she's expecting her first child any day now), her husband is safe (he's an Israeli reservist), no more civilians will die in Gaza, no more children, not today.


5. I'm thankful that I have the capacity to learn.


6. I'm thankful that as scared as I often am, as anxious as I always am, sometimes I can use the way my mind goes in circles to narrow down my options and begin resolving a situation.


7. I'm thankful for chocolate. And kittens. And Natasha Romanoff's existence.


8. I'm thankful for my friends. Without you--yeah.


9. Writing. I'm thankful for writing, even when I can't really do it. It helps.
