-I am thankful for the depth of feeling I have known. It is sweet to fall in love and it reminds us what we long for in ourselves. For me...it is always abandon into creativity without a care of what anyone else thinks of my creations.
-I am thankful for my experience with a flowing river and a log this weekend. They reminded me that in order to come up on the other side, you must completely let go. And even when there is the possibility that you won't come back up, that's ok too.
-I am thankful that I'm learning to be alright with myself, exactly where I am and that I'm starting to understand that I don't have to measure myself up based on what others think of me or want from me.
-I am thankful for the process of letting go of things that tie me to a certain way of being. It is scary to let go of remembrances but also exciting. It somehow opens up more paths to walk down. The memories will always stay with me anyway, as long as I need them.
-I am thankful for the feeling of my body, after a long hike. It hums with appreciation and sweet exhaustion and anticipation of the next trip.
