GRATITUDE 05.28.10

What an amazing week! I am grateful for a week in which, on the whole, I experienced much inner peace. It’s been a long time since I felt this good about life. It’s been a long time since I experienced this amazing sense of joy. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually given serious thought to my goals for the future.

I’m grateful for the experiences this week that brought me such joy. The Men’s Chorus recorded our CD project this week. It was a tiring, trying, and extremely exciting experience. I’m grateful for the role music plays in my life, for the joy it brings to me, the ability I have to share this gift with others through my vocal abilities and through my instrumental abilities. I hope to continue growing as a musician, that I never grow weary of my first love.

I’m grateful for answered prayers. I’m grateful for the spiritual experiences that have been so wonderful this week. I have attended daily mass three days this week. This is a new experience for me, and I’m just trusting God to guide me.

Here’s my confession: I’m grateful for the hope, the peace and the joy in my life. I truly feel like things are just moving in the right direction for the first time in a very long time. I’m grateful for those who have said prayers for me. I’m grateful for words of encouragement and for the solid friends I have. In this journey, friends make the journey so much more amazing. I know that there’s a plan out there, somewhere, and one day I’ll find it. I’m learning that patience can be a very beautiful and rewarding thing.

It truly is weeks like this one that I pause for a moment, and think ‘how in this world can I POSSIBLY ever ask for anything more than the ‘things’ I already have? I can’t.
