Am not up long but already so many. I’m breathing, so that’s a good start. I like it that I can keep breathing and fully intend to until the last one. And then there’s that cup of water I just had and the warmth of shelter.
Food supply. As our local food supply is in serious long term jeopardy due to catastrophic flooding. My gratitude is boundless for all who are figuring out solutions short term and long term.
My friends know my response will be coffee! Coffee is more than my favored beverage: it means that I acknowledge the earth that produced it; the hands that harvested it; all the people and “tech” that brought it to my cupboard. I give thanks that I have shelter in which to make my coffee and enough peace every day to enjoy — to the very last drop. So, for me, coffee is basic.
My breath, my cats, indoor plumbing, and heat and air conditioning, thought that may not be basic! I’m also grateful for the trees, earth, sun and sky I get to take in everyday from my home office!
Clean water, every time I turn on the faucet I say “thank you” to the Earth and all who make it possible. When I do I feel connected to all the people and nature.
Sunshine. It lifts my mood and keeps me warm. I consider it “basic” because it’s always there and I don’t need to do much to experience it…although I guess in actuality it is anything but.
Some “basic” things for which I am truly grateful are my education, my car, safe shelter, clean food and water, my body’s ability to move, my brain (especially the limbic system, which I find so fascinating!), and the fact that I am alive right now.

I am really grateful for this life I got and everything that God provides me with. My family, my friends, the food I eat daily, and every other thing.
For my morning coffee, books and music

je suis reconnaissante de me reveiller ce matin et de voir de la neige tombé
translation: I’m grateful to wake up this morning and see snow fallen
merveilleux, mo
Shelter, healthy food, a good car, my husband and family, and all is well.
As others have mentioned , food, water, shelter and safety. I’m also grateful for my five senses and my ability to think and reason and love.

A long slow deep breath, exhale
