This post is part of Just Jot it January, and our prompt today is thanks to Sadje. Check out her blog here!

I have so many things to be grateful for that it took me all day to decide what I was going to write about for today’s prompt, “gratitude.”

I’m grateful of course for my family, that I have a roof over my head and food in the cupboards. I’m grateful for my (so far) good health (touches all the wood), and the fact that I have few things to worry about for the future.

So what, with all that, did I decide to write about?

This website, and all the friends I’ve made here over the years. All the people who’ve stuck with me, even when it must have seemed like I’d gone missing.

I’m grateful to know that if I come here and write something, someone will read it. Someone will notice, and I’ll always have at least one person in the world who knows I exist.

And if all that goes away one day and no one comes back to visit? I’ll know that there are people out there I can seek out, just to say hi.

In fact, I’ve been going through some of my old posts and doing just that, lately.

Try it! You never know who you’re missing until you see a familiar name.
