I am grateful for the game; to be a player. I appreciate seeing the world today through the lens of play. I am passionate in my play; I make mistakes. I like playing with other passionate players. I like making mistakes with them. It makes the successes all the sweeter.

I am grateful for the chocolate ol’ fashioned donut I got from Bob’s Donuts this morning. It was so fresh, it was falling apart just sitting in the box… and gooey chocolate goodness spread across my taste buds like a Willy Wonka wave of deliciousness; imagination on point. 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 exuberant joy of punk ethics. I am finding myself going back to the beautiful noise of the 70s; the energy is uplifting as more and more chaos erupts around the world. We are not alone America; fascism and pig-headed politics is finding a foothold all over the world. A friend…

I am grateful for a wonderful day… a lot that I was concerned about—feeling way behind on—is (at least today) proving to be manageable… in the sense that I can persevere and make it to a satisfying conclusion. Of course, I need to do the work. And I am grateful for the work. That which…

I am grateful for the beautiful people I meet along this journey… Today has been a good day. Sun rising over a fog laden valley of salt, sand, and range. And I am grateful we took the long way down, seeing two amazing GodDogs lumbering their way up old railroad grade. How unfortunate to see…

I am grateful for the advice I heard from Habibi this evening… think of one thing each day that is positive about (someone close to me). Good advice.

I am grateful that I got up early this morning, joined friends at the Inn, and hiked up to the curve on the mountain to watch today’s sun rise. The chorus the birds burst with upon the first rays hitting the mountain side was real. And I was in the company of good people. A…
