Five Good Things

There are so many good things in my life, I am richly blessed.

• I am grateful for supportive friends - you know who you are. Sometimes those who support us aren't even a spoken, visable presence in our lives. Just good people who wish us well.
• My library is a good thing, a wonderful thing. I am grateful for my inquisitive and honest students
• Even the heat is a good thing today - it helped me to slow down, to not go by rote. To think, to be conscious.
• Lemons are a delightful thing don't you think? I have a cool lemon in my fridge, just waiting for my imagination to create something. I can already taste it. And, I have this really nifty, new lemon zester - I can't wait to use it!
• The Mountain is a wonderful thing. Reliable, honest, strong; always there to remind me that these things are also inside of me.

I cannot call some of the hard things in my past exactly Good Things; but they have made me strong, they have chiseled compassion, and some of the hard things have born fine fruit. Yes, tis a right fine life I have. And so is yours.
