This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 09, 2007:
I try to answer this question every single day and I think it's great fun to share, so first... for this question.
and also
for the library.
for waking up to a loving, kind, giving, forgiving, gorgeous, intelligent, creative, alive, healthy, devastatingly handsome husband everymorning.
for our home which gets more comfortable and welcoming everyday.
for my brain, my heart, my body, my soul, my eyes, my ears, my tongue, mi nariz y mi orejas. for glorious fresh air to breathe. for luxurious cool water to drink and in which to bathe. for apples and oranges and peaches and nectarines and avocados and blueberries y fresas y tomates and green tea and samosas and wild high mountain honey from lovely high mountain, monastery born and bred honeybeas that are very much alive and very much not disappeared.
por mi hijo, mi madre, mi hermosa, my niece and my nephew and my grandmother.
for my amigas y amigos.
for the sun and the moon and the stars and the sky and the mountains and the water and the flores.
for yoga and meditation.
for my job and my other job and all my "hobbies".
for democracy with all it's flaws and blemishes and the right to be a citizen or go somewhere else if I like.
for the freedom and opportunity and ability to travel now and again.
for the fact that I have yet to set foot on the soil of europe or asia or nepal or india or tibet or bhutan or south america or hawaii or africa or antarctica austalia or new zealand or so many little islands and even lots of places in north america and even yet some places in little old colorado and so I have lots of adventures to look forward to.
for the earth of course.
for music and dancing and the genius of paint and color and ingenuity.
for solar energy and wind power and oceans of water and oceans of tall grasses and for rocks too.
for books and organic, vegan cafes above bookstores, for newspapers and my computer and my camera and the internet. for voices and for silence. for arguments and for making up. for my doggies. for snuggling up and watching movies. for popcorn. for bedtime. for dusk and dawn too. for countless languages left to learn and for plenty of time to do it. for curiosity and gratitude and joy. for the laughter and smiles and discoveries made by small children and tall, old children. for bicycles and unicycles and the ability to bestow small gifts that bring smiles to faces I love.
for this fantastic game called life.










pretty awesome list!
Sweet, Dawn.
