- Dreams I can climb out of
- A quiet market
- Syrupy tea poured from a neighbor’s kettle
- Observations so true they hurt
- Little boy grins that come shy and blushing
- Remembering the awe of a blessing forgotten
- A cheerful chat at the bus stop
- Hearing my name on the street
- Language lesson over towers of fruit and vegetables
- Cicadas
- Damp outlines around fallen leaves
- A speedboat skimming along the horizon
- Middle of the day thunder
- A pale lizard running along the boulevard just ahead of me
- Opening a door to find a cool breeze
- Fresh paint
- Humor when I’m not expecting it
- Heads bent in prayer
- Conversation so long we forget to clean up dinner
- A Kindle full of waiting books
20 even more things I’m thankful for
