I am most grateful this week for a successful concert Thursday night with the gay men’s chorus. I’m so proud to be part of such an amazing group of men, and even more proud to serve them as President and member of the Board of Directors. Our concert was very well attended and the after-party was a blast!
The last few weeks have been incredibly stressful for me. Relationship issues, work stress, and financial woes have added to my stresses. Fortunately, I have people in my life who love me and support me in spite of myself. Everything eventually works out the way it is supposed to, and I try to focus my attention on just being present in the here and now and let everything else go. That’s certainly easier said than done, but still, I try.
I lie here tonight surrounded by my two best feline friends tonight. They probably don’t know just how much I love them, and how much joy they bring to my life. I’m reminded at how the most simple of things in life are often the most important.
Here’s my confession: The last few weeks, it has been difficult to be grateful. I’ve been too tired most of the time to even give a damn about life. The important thing for me to remember is that I’m surrounded by so much more good in my life than bad. My friends are my family. I still have a lot of things to learn about life, about myself and about things in general, but each day I live I have another chance to grow. I’m so grateful for the gifts this life continues to afford me, whether I’m happy or sad or somewhere in between. I’m never alone…and that’s worth more than just about anything in the entire world!
