Today I Am Feeling Very Grateful ......

It's dark outside and I'm happy to be out under the stars, filling up some bottles of water. It's from the well, which is located at the edge of the land I live on. There is a pump that pumps the water up and me my girls have been drinking that water straight from the pipe for just over nine months now. Nine months of drinking clean fresh water, just as nature intended.

The well is up that way.

It's the little things really, those ones that really are, actually big things. Like drinking natural water, instead of polluted and treated water. This is something, that I am very grateful for. That feels like a privilege, when it really shouldn't. It's a basic need and yet many don't get it.

Today I went dancing, an Estatic Dance, that was led and DJed by a friend of mine. Its been a few weeks since I went dancing, so it was badly needed and desired. I really didn't fully decide, until almost the last minute. I was busy at home. But as I was sorting out some things, some music on and dancing as I worked. I knew that I needed to go. I've not really made much time for dancing lately.

I dance almost daily, mostly when I'm cooking or waiting for the food to cook. When the girls are all occupied, you'll find me moving across the floor of the truck, moving in time with the music. Each of my girls, giving me a quick sideways glance, as I glide past them. That's how I like to picture it, in my head. Me gliding across the floor, lol. My girls just slightly impressed.

But damn, does it make me feel good. To move my body, in such a fluid way. It makes me very happy indeed. So it's really good for me to dance everyday. If I was into the whole New Year resolutions thing, that would be mine. So I'm also grateful for this body of mine, that rarely let's me down. That allowed me today, to really move, to really express myself. To empty myself, only to be filled right back up. Overflowing with warmth and life. Dipping into the beautiful flow of life, dancing to its divine rhythm.

Grateful that I live in such a place, where I can be wild and free with others. Where there is respect and awareness. Where it is honoured and celebrated.

Today I am feeling grateful.
