As I pause for a few moments to contemplate my many reasons for gratitude over the last week, I am especially grateful for the loving friends that are such an important life. Some of my friends have been part of my life since high school or college days, some are new arrivals. ALL are meaningful. It’s so amazing to me how the right people come into our lives at just the right time of our lives.
The last few weeks have been so incredibly busy and stressful for me with so many rehearsals in preparation for Easter at church, the upcoming concert with the gay men’s chorus and on top of all of that, increased pressures at work. I approach it all with the resolve that I have the musical abilities to participate in these activities, and I just have to force myself to play an absolutely new game at work. It’s not a choice. I have to be my own best cheerleader.
I’m grateful for the home I have, the car I drive, the pets who love me and for the friendships with which I’m so incredibly blessed. I’m grateful, knowing that not every thing or every day is going to go the way I want it to go. What I do know is that as long as I am giving my best, then there’s truly nothing more I can ask.
I’m grateful and amazed as I take a glimpse at just how far I’ve come as an individual over the last nearly two years of life. There have been so many changes in my life over that time. And, truly, while many of the changes have been painful in one way or another, each situation as contributed to my greater good!
Here’s my confession: I’m grateful for the answers which remain hidden in my life. I’m grateful for NOW, for that’s the only time I am promised. Each new day brings challenges and beauty into my life, questions I’m afraid to conquer, and tons of opportunities for personal and professional growth. I’m grateful for, indeed, life is good.
