Hard working curls, thank you; for absorbing cold, wet, heat, and sweat, only to be ready for a flirty conversation at the end of a long day.

Interested eyes- green as the hills that roll into mountains of wisdom, you do translate it so well into much needed navigation.

Attentive ears- my precious sticking-out listeners of all. Today, I am deeply grateful for you allowing this brain and soul to feel the melodies of the minds and bodies of artists from distant corners of the world.

Underestimated shoulders, neck, and back- you are the mule for worldly belongings and protest minimally even after a night on a pillow that was even less.

Hips and rear- you know I love you, there are no words.

Sweet strong quads, hamstrings, and calves, you are stronger everyday and I will never forget your quick adaptation to the inclines in our lives.

Ferocious feet- heels that sing with every strike, and balls to stabilize the stride. Toes that twinkle in the face of blisters…. You all are an inspiration to me.

Thank you.
