Gratitude
I know, it’s trite.
Anybody who has done any measure of meditation or even yoga can tell you that gratitude is powerful stuff. It can change your attitude in a heartbeat and for me to say that so is like a Portland hipster saying that Stumptown has sold out. It’s painfully obvious.
But you know what? I’m really, really grateful.
Listen, I haven’t updated this blog in two years. And since that time, my entire life has shifted underneath my feet. I still have my “fix” of a job, but pretty much everything else is different. I’m not going to lay out the details or anything there is one thing I wanted to say.
I am grateful for my friends.
Yes! Another cliché!
But.
The friends that I have come to count on in recent months have all impressed me in their own ways. They have come crawling out of my past, have stepped out of the din of everyday acquaintances, have called just to say ‘hi,’ have changed my name in their address book, helped me figure out WordPress, shared recipes, given advice on meditation and burned CDs. They’ve helped me celebrate the highs and ride out the lows. And trust me, there’s been an inordinate amount of each.
I am grateful for my friends, for my voice and for the fortitude to be back on this blog feeling like I might have something to say.
Yep, 2012 is the year of gratitude.
