I’m thankful for the tilt in our planet, the peculiarity that gave rise to our seasons. I’m thankful for trees. For animals and birds. I’m thankful for the few friends and family that are close to me. Especially for my dog Jack—perhaps the closest “person” to me on a daily basis.
Nature, I am thankful for you.
