The highlight
of my week
was having the opportunity

I am thankful for
all the little things
that people do for me
I am thankful for
the warmth of the sun
I am thankful for
the sea breeze in my hair
I am thankful for

the opportunity to give
I am thankful for
the friends I have met along the way
There are so many things
to be thankful for
