Gratitude on a Sunday morning

 Gratitude

For your mystery and your madness
For your beauty and your broken places
For your magnetism and your majesty
For your effervescent personality
For your raw, unfiltered sensuality and your sensible frugality

For your contradictions
For your grace
For your granola curiosity
For THAT smile upon THAT face
For the healing and the hope
For unedited disappointments
For your short-fused impatience and the even shorter time it takes for you to return to a big-love kind of balance

For your growth and your arrival
For the unnatural need to be constantly told, “I love you”
For your boundary-making, rule-breaking, honeydew-list-contemplating, game-of-life-playing, perspective-changing way you approach this big, bold, beauty journey. 

For the adventure and the advice
For the extreme jealousy and overwhelming pride
For the green, stomach-churning
For the deep-breathed worries
For the timeless soul story
For the sweetness and the flames
For the pleasure and the pain
For the complicated
For the Daisy in your name
For that wild lioness mane
For the perfect parts in between
For the imperfect hearts that still sing

I am grateful.
