Grateful for silence and darkness before the dawn.
Grateful that I could take off for my best friends mother's funeral today. Grateful, that (after having lost two of her children to early death), she seems to be coping okay so far. It might even be a little healing for her and hubby and other children. Grateful I can lay my eyes on them today and see.
Grateful she was so helpful in walking with me through my own grief last year, as she knew the road. She is the best bff ever.
Grateful to have woken up before five AM not in panicy insomnia, but with a sense of fullness within the emptiness and soundlessness. Grateful for the eternity of God and feeling God's presence after years of not feeling anything.
Grateful I gave up and let the dog have the side of the bed he wanted.
