I pause tonight to remember that while there are so many things on my plate, that I am truly and completely blessed. I have so much for which to be grateful—friends who are my “family”, a job—at a time when many do not. I’m growing as a musician, as a person and as an individual.
There have been many days lately when I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall—where I feel like I’ve hit a plateau in my personal growth. I get so frustrated because I don’t know what I want, where I’m going and simply feel exhausted with life. I have to remind myself that the growth happens during the journey—and the journey doesn’t always move at the pace I would like. I’m grateful for the journey, because as I look back, I see just how far I’ve come, but am thankful for the growth yet to come.
I am grateful tonight for the wonderful memories I have of my late grandmother. She left this life nine years ago yesterday. It seems like yesterday, and there is hardly a day or week in which I don’t remember the many positive impacts she had on my life. Were it not for her influence in my life, I can’t even begin to imagine where I would be today. I’m grateful for her, for the love she had for me, and believe, that while she is gone from this earthly life, she is very much alive in my heart.
Here’s my confession: My blog has been silent this week. There have been thousands of thoughts rolling around inside my head, much frustration, many fears, yet, a profound gratitude for the people who are in my life, the people who remind me that I have people who care about me, people who remind me of the many blessings I have and those who remind me to not sweat the small stuff. No matter the frustrations I have, no matter the fears. Life is good, and for that, I’m eternally grateful.
