a list...i think this is a good one

oh, p.s:
I am feeling incredibly grateful at this moment:

1. to have traveled farther than any 17 year old should have
2. for authors of fiction, fantasy, and spirit that have become my companions, my teachers, my remedies for loneliness.
3. for other seekers, other journeymen whose paths cross my own, leaving a profound impression on me (and if not forever, then certainly for specific legs of our long walk through life)
4. for every mile that wears my footprint
5. for my many teachers that show up in many forms
6. to those who listen to me (and those who don’t)
7. to those who present me with challenges that strengthen my own beliefs
8. for discomfort- because it requires me to build my muscles required to love
9. for people who choose kindness over being right
10. to my God (who provides a hug when I tell Him I need one)

Now I feel like taking a big breath, smiling, and falling asleep...but that won't happen because I will probably be thinking, laughing, and crying.
