what are you thankful for today?
KelBel is thankful for...
- Access to excellent reading material.
- Creating mindful relationships and personal growth.
- The eager anticipation of the holidays. Warmth and fuzzy sweaters.
- Walking from the shade into the sunshine.
- Chilly air; listening to Gillian Welch; my hangover epiphany.
- Everything smoothing over in my life.
- So many napping opportunities!
- The fact that I don't live in a society that is as patriarchal as, say, India or China. That my family doesn't see my femaleness as a burden.
- Visiting old friends and getting to know the new ones better.
- Deeply personal discussions that last late into the night.
- Resources that are available to me. Lovely friends. Golden opportunities.
- The wonderful chilly weather that's bringing a smile to my face. Cupcakes. Evolving friendships. Love.
- Getting the chance to attend a women's college. People who understand the term 'patriarchy.'
- Taking a break from the chaos with a nap.
- 80 dollar pumps for 20 dollars. I look so fancy!
- Sisterhood. Sharing blankets, laughter, personal space and stories of our lives. I'm learning to honor the small, sacred spaces that are mine, but to embrace the wonderful people who are in my life as well. Balance is beautiful.
- The arrival of fall, announced with a few misty, chilly mornings. Finally time to break out the cozy clothes and bundle up!
- Fabulous friends and a sense of belonging.
- Sunflowers. Tea with honey. Bright blue yarn.
- Summer time naps.

Being immersed in a tiny women's college is so soothing after a year of volunteering in an elementary school. I can tell that I'll have a lot to be thankful for in the coming four years!
