Thankful Thursday
May. 3rd, 2018 08:02 amIn continuing efforts to recognize the good things in my life, I present a few things out of the list that I'm mindfully thankful for this week.
1. The loves in my life. That they exist. That they are strong individuals who love life and live it fully. I appreciate the family we've been building and look forward to many long years of togetherness.
2. Employment! Often mostly for the fact that I am versus what I do. I'm grateful that I can get paid to do things I like to do, and that I can also let it go as needed to facilitate the rest of my life. I appreciate that my work environment, while not always ideal, is still pretty good and supportive. I appreciate my co-workers and the parts they play with me in making our company do what we do.
3. Technology - for all the abuses we see often, I'm grateful to technology not only for my employment and for interesting diversions, but for the fact that it allows us to connect and to learn and to share. So much of who I am and what I know I owe to technology in various forms, and while I appreciate moments to disconnect, I also take no shame in being connected.
4. Spring! I'm grateful of the turn of the seasons. There is more light, and the weather is mostly temperate, and I enjoy seeing life return to nature.
5. Grateful that I live in the Pacific North West. Not just for the weather, but that is certainly a big part. I also appreciate our depth and breadth of art and culture and opportunities to explore and learn. For all that we struggle, we seem to embrace a certain sense of open-mindedness . I also appreciate the fact that we are close to nearly all climates and environments.
6. Grateful for the time and effort people have put forth to educate me in my quest to be a better person. I am indebted to folks who have been willing to offer me patience and insight as I grow, and I'm deeply thankful for that effort.
7. Grateful for music and the power it has to envelope me and interact with me. I really enjoy the fact that music categorically is a strong part of my identity and that I have the ability to dive into it and let it wash over me. It captures me and enhances me. It is the best!
