Dear Life

As this is my first love letter for a year, I am going BIG! I am so grateful for my life. I’m not sure I understand how I got to be, how I got to be alive. How I experience life as me. Yet here I am amongst all the other people. Such a mystery. I arrived to my particular parents, in my particular family, here in Philadelphia, PA, USA. How did that happen? While certainly my life had/has it’s happy times and distressing times, it is turning out to be fun as I enter my elderhood. I have good friends, and fabulous partner —living an unconventional life. I am thankful in most moments for what has been gifted to me. This moment is certainly one of extreme gratitude.
