The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

I am most grateful that my baby daughter recently survived an emergency surgery. I am grateful for my son-in-law who has the most gentle nature and loves my daughter so deeply. I am also grateful that I have an adorable 3 yr granddaughter that can lift everyone's spirits, especially with all the tragedy this little family has experienced. In that vain, I'm grateful that as a family we have grown closer and appreciate each other more since we lost Weston, age 5, two yrs ago. I'm grateful that we are now able to find moments of joy in the little things.

I am beyond grateful for my husband of 40 years who has supported and encouraged me to never give up hope while I battled treatment resistant depression, anxiety and chronic pain. He has been there to hold me when I was agony physically or emotionally, along with cheering me on when I had accomplishments. He has never given up on me and loves me unconditionally.

I am so grateful for my oldest daughter who can lighten a room with her infectious laughter. She lives a life full of new adventures, trying things she's never done before. She has the best sense of humour and no matter how crappy I feel, a text from her will always make me smile. I am grateful that her partner of 7 years adores her completely and will do anything to make her life comfortable and beautiful.

I am grateful for the wonderful support I have in my grief group, my music therapy, my chronic illness health coach, my psychiatrist, my doctor, my sister-in-law, my friend when she is able.

I am grateful for our zen like little townhome that is filled with plants, candles, flowers, photos of all our family and friends, a painting my daughter's mother-in-law did for me representing the joy Weston brought to my life. I'm grateful that we can afford to live a simple, quiet life and my husband is employed in a job he enjoys.

I am grateful for my pup, Sophie, our 3 yr old shih tzu. She fits in perfectly with her anxiety issues. She loves to snuggle between your legs on the recliner, but only if the flannel blanket is on. She stands and just stares at you until you figure out what she wants, which is usually a treat. I love how she brings her soft, crinkly, squeaky octopus to me to fill each leg with a tiny treat, roll the legs up so the velcro stricks to the neck and she has to figure out how to open it. She is such a funny little dog, demanding, definitely, spoiled, of course, loved, greatly.

I am grateful for my little patio garden where I have created a child's wonderland. There is a special area called Weston's garden. I absolutely loved sitting out there with Sophie beside me listen to sparrows and hummingbirds chirp, watching the hummingbirds come within inches of me to suckle on my salvia plant and drink from the feeder. It was my sanctuary, my safe spot, the only place I felt so calm.

I'm grateful that I am getting healthier so that I can volunteer by taking Sophie to seniors' homes, daycares, and downtown where the homeless live. I also want to train to become a chronic illness health coach to give back to the program that is saving my life.   💜🥰
