Some days just take a lot. So tonight, I am grateful that I can retire early. Tomorrow is a new day. Take it early and get busy. Tonight? Settle into a smooth groove… Call it a day (after I walk the dog).

Tonight, I am grateful for Hope. It springs from friends and family. It is divinely divined by those in tune with the moon, who can feel the tidal surges: ebbs and flows. And it is shared with me, for which, I am grateful.

I am grateful for my mother. She brought a lot into my life… one of those things is a great love for music of all genres. Believe me, in my teens, I attempted to play music that would bother her – or, better yet, bug the shit out of her. I never found anything that…

I give up. I know nothing. I am permanently fixed upon the precipice, continually teetering on the edges of disaster. I thought I was beyond needing to deal with the pain of lost dreams; weathered feathers falling. Ashes of burnt-out dreams. It is not the dreams that create pain, bringing it back to feeling —…

And so we start again Another year; another verse I keep trying to heal Keep heading into the worst I’m not worried I’m not afraid Before I was possessed On my knees, I prayed And oceans of emotions Will keep rockin’ me I will keep sailing On this endless sea Tonight I’m grateful for you…

I’m grateful for this beautiful first day of the year… For the time i had with Bodhi. For the exercise this morning; the hanging with brothers this afternoon. And for the ability to post via my phone. Oh yeah – and for killer jams! #TGS #D11

I am grateful that I am not feeling the omnipresent universal step on my neck… at least not today. I am seeing some light and progress in my demeanor today; progress in the LIGHT direction.

I am grateful for my family. My family extends far and there is a plethora of greet and joyful blessing from them that warms my heart on this cold, winter’s day. ¡En verdad, mi familia trae abundantes bendiciones y alegría! Merry Christmas!

I am grateful that I took a break today. I am grateful that my break consisted of a workout, a Moped Outlaws recording, and a good meal. I am grateful that I wrote this blog tonight. I am grateful to be calling it in early.

I really don’t know what I am doing; no f’in’ idea. Admittedly, it is part of the joy of this journey. Every moment is a surprise — not always a good one. And I am working on that… I hear that one’s experience of Joy is completely dependent on personal choice. I think I’ve even…

I am grateful for a potential gig closing For the people I am working with on Look On In Anger to willingly rehearse For the flirting with female friends for bedtime (ya, Aaron… I did it again. Almost didn’t get this posted :-p)

I am grateful for the freedom to be Grateful for the opportunity To heel at the foot of those Who suppose, that though They know Their raison d’etre Remains demure Passionately, i lay down to rest Maybe tomorrow; to give my best
