GRATITUDE 09.19.08

My weekly gratitude is a little late this week, but that doesn’t mean my gratitude is diminished at all. As I think of the past week, I realize, as always, there is so much for which to be grateful.

I am most grateful this week for new friendships that are coming into my life, mostly a result of my involvement with the Magic City Choral Society. The last month of my life has brought so much enjoyment in my life, and I’ve broken a large part of my shell. Feeling more comfortable in my own skin, who I am as a person, a musician and finding a “voice” as it were in my community are bringing much gratitude into my life.

I am grateful for the special friendship that is developing between Clark and me. Who knows exactly where it will lead, but what I do know is that a beautiful friendship is developing. Our growing friendship is an exercise in patience on my part as well as self-discipline.

Here’s my confession: I have so many things for which to be grateful. Despite moments of fear, insecurity, depression, and some confusion, I have many more blessings in my life than I can count and, looking over the last few months, I’ve come a long way, baby. Even still, I’ve a long way to go.
