8/9

i'm thankful that i am outside in the mornings now for my runs—i'm thankful to have described being thankful for this before, but i'm thankful for it every day, for the special quality of the air, damp and cool, and how the noises of engines feel blunted and contained, for the softness of the light, the sense of possibility. i'm thankful that i don't have to commute anymore but i'm thankful to be able to get back this feeling of being out in the morning, which i had forgotten how much i loved.
