Charlotte

 Grateful for my time in Charlotte. 

Grateful for the skyline in the early morning reflecting fresh daylight, grateful for the themed light shows of the skyline at night.

Grateful I can get in my car and go to God made beauty and leave the man made behind.

Grateful for the daily hustle and grind and the eerie, snow storm silenced city.

Grateful for new perspectives that I wouldn’t have seen at home.

Grateful I have a home to go to and people to love and love me. 

Grateful I don’t reside in a dumpster area of a donut shop, scouring for food and warmth. 

Grateful I am not prisoner to an addiction that warps my mind and necessitates stealing.

Grateful I met people I wouldn’t have met away from the city, grateful their true soul could shine through and I could appreciate it.

Grateful part of my journey was spent in Charlotte and I could appreciate it.
