Gratitude for Just Enough

What am I grateful for today? 

For “scraping through” being good enough sometimes.

For a few minutes alone praying that got me through the rest of the day.

For still feeling that I have the resources to walk through a hard day with a friend tomorrow. And for the fact, that I won’t be the only friend there.

For a close friend who will come to visit me in December, who really wants to see me, who put real effort into making it possible. I’ll take holiday when she’s here, and we’ll have Advent together… I’m grateful for this. For our friendship that is still growing, after quite a few years. For the prospect of spending time with someone who I trust, and who I can relax and laugh and be silly and serious with…

And for Jane Austen, who makes many evenings better just now…
