tonight i am going to bed grateful for full bellies and full cupboards; for girls who are home where they are supposed to be; for a husband - oh! but that word hardly does it... for a friend, partner... who is here every step of the way with me. grateful for spring coming, in a way that i'm sure i am every year, but maybe more this year than ever. grateful for friends coming home. for friends i've never met who reach out and offer and make us feel cared for. for friends who stand by ready and eager and seem to feel- incredibly- as grateful for us as we are for them. for the promise of what will come, and that shivery stretch that happens when you first lay your body down at night. for it all. just grateful. thank you so much for reading. knowing you are listening inspires me to write. xo, tt
