Thanks ART

We are all thankful for
something in our lives.
It is a tradition in our
family to go 
around the table and 
say what we are 
thankful for
during meals
in the season.
It has always been
comical
to hear what
comes out
of the mouths
of babes.

But this season
I know what I am 
thankful for.

I am thankful
for my ART
my CRAFT
my WORK.
May seem superfluous 
to some
but without
it I would not
be me.
I would be someone else
and would
not have the capacity to 
be thankful
for anything
that is close to me.

Thankfulness
and happiness
comes from one 
consistent source
in my life.
The absolute
reverence I feel
for the ability to 
be able to do what I do
consistently
day after day.
Thankfulness is
a pretty basic thing.
