Gratitude


Today I’m grateful for the small blessings. My life hasn’t been smooth sailing for the past couple of years, but I’ve realized that not having a full time job doesn’t have to define me. Without all that free time, my novel would still be unfinished. I’ve accomplished one of my life long goals and being able to write those words from my heart and a whole lot of passion was a very rewarding gift in itself, no matter where that project takes me in the future. I’ll always want to improve on my work and make it the best it can be. At least if this was my last day, I would be satisfied leaving a piece of my heart behind.

I have a wonderful family and friends who have never given up on me. Just a few weeks ago, my best friend visited and stayed with me for five glorious days and reminded me of the beauty of song and laughter, friendship and love. It was an incredible feeling just to have her with me again after two years, talking and exploring and creating art.

The freedom to create opens my mind. If I didn’t have that don’t know what I’d do. While I may have many days that pass by without a great deal of inspiration, it always comes back to me somehow. Music fills my soul with new purpose when my hope starts to fade.

Love. In a way the world needs more of it these days. To say we are all worthy of love is true...I had to learn and grow to see this completely, and I’m still learning. I don’t care how mushy it sounds. Love is the greatest blessing of all.
