Count the gratitude in threes:
One – a friend goes home today. A too-long hospital stay. Here’s to looking at the water, and brighter horizons ahead.
Two – I text my old love today. It’s his birthday. I remember how we celebrated, but that was fifteen years ago and we were just two kids. Here’s to being kids. Here’s to growing up.
Three – My favorite show is revived today. I watch with nostalgia and skepticism. It brings me back to Friday night episodes and my introduction to fanfiction. Here’s to stories and how they shape us.
With Love,
Natalie
