{19} work in this world

I am grateful that I have work in this world, that I find it hard sometimes, that I am able to move through my challenges, and know that my work is worth something.

{18} warmth

I am grateful for the simple fact that it is very cold outside, and I have the means and provisions to be warm inside my home, and inside my heart.
