2021.12 Count Your Blessings

1. Night-quiet, everything distant (save ancient heating).


2. The pervading fragrance of clean laundry, new paper, pencils.


3. Food safe from contamination or theft (though not forgetfulness).


4. My hand on the volume.


5. My books on the shelves.


6. My laugh, as late or loud as I need it to be.


7. A throat full of song to lay on quivering air.


8. Space in which to be fatigued. (Sleep, sleep, sleep!)


9. Space in which to be energised. (Dance, dance, dance!)


10. A farewell to jealousy.


11. A farewell to lies.


12. Knowing my worth, my priority.

I found this image in a LOT of places, with no indication where it originated!
