I am grateful for yet another beautiful day. And as the day comes to a close, I sit with those whose day was not so great. Challenging even. I shall have my days for sure… Today? Today was a good day… put it back the drawer. Lesson 153: In my defenselessness my safety lies.

I am grateful for the life blood that courses through my biology. I am grateful for the madness within that challenges me in waking moments. It is the challenge that keeps me seeking to awaken. I am grateful for the fire, the passion, the joyful abundance from which life springs and flows. I am grateful…

Gratitude Attitude I guess I am grateful for the wonderful group session that a family member had today. I am grateful I have tomorrow. Yeah… I’m sure of it.

…I was free. This world; us people—we are a mad mess. We’re prideful and so apt to not back away, back down, when the fires are burning. And we don’t seem to mind who gets burned. We just stoke them higher, believing we’ll walk away unscathed if we direct the fire away from us. But…

I am grateful for this day—it was on point. Had a good meeting with the TMG team. Moped Outlaws had a good internal meeting. Had a good rehearsal at MOCA Marin with the HYDROCRACY people for our final performance this Friday. Had a great workout with Jonah… followed up with a fine meal. And now?…

Since the sun was well hidden on…

I am grateful for getting a few errands done, an amazing meal with an amazing group of people… and the fact that this school year is over (almost). Oh, by the way… you’re gonna bother somebody. It just happens.

I am grateful for the sunrise I watched this morning from Hogback Ridge. I am grateful that we did our scene from PROOF today. I am grateful my computer started up this evening.

I am grateful that I have until the end of this coming weekend to turn in my term paper. I am also grateful for the wonderful community and fellowship I experienced at the last RJTF Just Dinner event tonight. Another one in the can.

I am grateful for the tears in my eyes. Because, G*d knows, I’ve been fallin’ quite a bit—for quite some time. My hands are cracked, dried, and bleedin’. My work is way behind… And in this exact moment, I am grateful I remembered I need to turn in my accountability for this week with my…
