The harder part (for me at least) isn’t coming up with stuff to be thankful for, it’s finding the courage (and words!) to say it, out loud, before it’s too late. This semi-edgy (super real) stuff is my favorite:
The previous night I had been out drinking alone. I came home, dumped my motorcycle in the driveway and stumbled in to find him asleep in the living room chair.
I just reread the whole thing and had the same, weirdly visceral sense that parts of this were lifted from my journal/brain/heart.
Loved this, got me thinking of the two best things my parents did in the parenting department.
Yep! I can think of many more than two. ❤️

Yes, I agree with Jeff, it should have been longer with more interesting details.
Oh hell yes! I'm so happy to see that this is trending.
The writer also wrote one of my favorite poems of all time. Enjoy!
If that link doesn't work, this one should.
He also wrote this poem about the place he grew up, which isn't as beautiful as Iron, though it's still interesting.
Excellent writing. I only wish it was longer!
For the record: We both know who actually scouted this one.
You set the precedent by stealing my scout on The Real Class War. You reap what you sow.
Yes! This is one of my favorite poets.
What were the two best things? Thinking about it too!
Enjoyable writing.
