I'm grateful for Dambara, my ever-supportive, ever-kind, ever joyful partner in life.

I'm grateful for the animals that enrich my days, reminding me of a wider reality than what lives inside my own head.

I'm grateful for increasing health and replenishing energy.

I'm grateful for the unfolding vision of Ananda Farm Camano Island.

I'm grateful for the rhythm of the seasons and the opportunity to be affected by them and in tune with them.

I'm grateful for the beauty that surrounds us, the beauty of nature, the beauty of this blossoming household, the beauty of the energy that permeates every nook.

I'm grateful for creativity and imagination and the means to pursue them.

I'm grateful for the tapestry of creation and the threads we travel along.

I am grateful.
