Three Things

Today, I’m getting ready to drive across the state to an amazing writing conference.  Still, in the flurry of packing and psyching myself up for three hours in the car (I’m not a fan of the highway anymore), I want to stop, step back, and remember to offer up gratitude to the universe.

Today, I am thankful for:

1. The fall equinox.  This is a time of balance between light and darkness, and it’s always been one of my favorite holidays. (It was last weekend.)

2. Myth.  I’ve been thinking a lot about the myth of Persephone as we head into the darker days, and I am thankful for all of the ancient stories.  They still resonate for me today.

3. The ability to travel to connect with other writers.

What are your three things?
