Thankful for . . .

* how my parents built me & ruined me & blessed me just by being themselves & failing & trying & loving
* my children's forgiveness of my own failures
* the granddaughter (due to emerge in March) who showed us a tiny emphatic hand in a recent ultrasound
* the way that writing poetry allows me to process pain, taking me deep into it but also detaching me as I become absorbed in making something of it
* the earth's stubborn smelly beauty
