Grateful – Discover One Word Prompt

I am grateful for:

• the relationships I have with my children
• cultivating a clean heart
• setting aside time to write
• the freedom to express myself
• all the bloggers I met on my Discover One Word Prompt journey

• being nominated by Laura McHarrie for the Vincent Ehindero Blogger Award
• taking a few extra minutes this morning to enjoy the scenery from my bed
• the arrival of my second Monocle Book of Japan
  • and now I can get intimate with the first one 😁
• my dad and his girlfriend surviving, and recovering from, COVID in Brooklyn, NYC

• listening to music or catching a flick while I work
• my dynamism, flexibility and change adeptness
• learning Japanese with Duolingo
• still having my job, and the rewards and challenges that come with it
• all the people I work with

• finding my journals from the ’90s
• my long-time friends
• laughing the loudest at my own jokes
  • saying that makes me laugh
• the sunlight that floods my room throughout the day
• my balcony oasis

• going to Thailand and learning more about Buddhism
• my perpetual excitement
• movement
• finding a reason to celebrate everything 🙌
• bathing, and getting kissed by, a baby elephant 💖
• being able to do whatever I wanna do. Gosh!

Wow! I am grateful for making it to the last day. Throughout the month, there were days I struggled and felt like I cheated because I didn’t write enough. Ready for another round! 😀
