simple gratitude

It’s being home for bedtime⁣
And adequate sleep too.⁣
Slow down activities-⁣
long walks, sipping coffee, stretching, ⁣
just to name a few.⁣
Fresh baked bread more often than not⁣
Me? Who would’ve ever thought. ⁣
Every day I change,⁣
Old me would think it’s so strange.⁣
We’re not chasing the money or the beers⁣
Just staying aligned despite any fears.⁣
Success to me looks different now-⁣
I’m grateful for those long, difficult, learning years.

  Aww Karissa, this is beautiful. I can feel the peace in your life and in your soul through this poem (along with the gratitude you feel for that peace). You’ve clearly come a long way, and not only do you have a lot to be grateful for but you have so many reasons to be proud of yourself. I love your poetry. I am so glad you are part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren
