A Thanksgiving poem

I am sitting in a messy family room in a house with kitchen parts strewn everywhere.  And I am amazingly thankful for possibilities which allow me to clarify what is really important.

I am thankful

For the cat snoring

Next to me;

For the turtle

Making bubbles

In his water dish;

For the daughter

Snoozing upstairs;

For my beloved husband who just left

For work

With a spring in his step;

For the head hunter

Who contacted my beloved

About a possible job

In my home state

Even though

My beloved

 is not looking.

I am thankful we figured out

Very quickly

How it might work out

If we were

To move

Out of state.

I am thankful for a new kitchen

In the works,

Even though it was not in the plans

Until next year.

I am thankful for possibilities

Around every corner,

The ability

To consider them.

I am thankful to be here:

Wherever here

Is.
