Things I Am Incredibly Grateful For (Part 1 of ...?)

  • My wonderful family.
  • My fabulous friends who are scattered across the globe.
  • My mother, who clearly spent a lot of time and effort putting together the most awesome care packages.
  • Lani, who has given me ROCK SOLID strength, support, humor, and dance parties in a town where I have no family and few friends.
  • Everyone at work for their overwhelming generosity and understanding.
  • The tenants of 1410 Central SW, all of whom I have come to know or know better. Even though they might not realize it, they are all helping me understand and cope in different ways.
  • All of the awesome people who have come into my life since the fire.
  • Barbara and Dolores and the rest of the neighborhood folks who have volunteered through the blood sweat and tears (literally!) to help all of the tenants out.
  • The kindness of strangers.
  • Knowing how it feels to be homeless.
  • Knowing how it feels to be dependent on the generosity of others.

It's a start...
