Thankful because

...I came head to head with this today.

At first I was sad, scared, reactive.

Then I was accepting.

Then I was thankful for the reminder that I cannot be all things to all people, and I should never have to be.

I can't even be all things to myself.

I can only do what I can and be thankful for community and powers greater than myself that help me to be just a small little piece of the world turning and the galaxies swirling.
