What I realized about this past summer was that I had most wanted to “help” others and it feels like what happened is that we mostly had to “receive help” from others and for that I am most grateful…partly for the gifts of help we received and partly for the exercise itself of being open to “accepting” help when we needed it. I was going to write a long detailed list of everything I am thankful for today but instead I will just say I am thankful for friends, family, health, kids, patience, kindness, love, art, and the magic of the universe. May you all know how you have affected my heart.
