kellan_the_tabby | Gratitude catchup (Reply)

Having been reminded by

waya over on

earth_clergy (a lovely new community, I recommend it to many of you) that gratitude is a goodness, I hereby start up my daily 'five things I'm grateful for' postings again.

1) Chocolate and Shanti, my beautiful sweet cats who love me unconditionally.

2) Samson and Taltos, who are also beautiful and sweet but don't love anyone, much less me, but who do teach me love and patience - I have gotten to pet both of them today, a rare and beautiful thing.

3) My new(ish) ability to take ingredients and turn them into lovely, healthy, tasty food for me and my friends.

4) Ray, specifically for provoking me to go to the gym with him last night (though we never actually got round to it, what with peerage discussions and all) and more generally for _growing_ in such a beautiful and visible way.

5) Knowing that my friends are standing by me. Especially the ones who, when I do something dumbassed, are willing to whonk me upside the head and say 'Hey, Kate? That was dumbassed.'

6) (Bonus!) Dwen, for teaching me to drink margaritas. I think.
