I'm grateful for this beautiful life. The highs, and especially the lows, because those are the moments that provide a platform for joy.
I'm grateful for my family who gets me, and I'm especially grateful for our newest member, Howard, who has provided me more joy than I could have imagined. We got him for our kid, but he's made the most impact me.
I'm grateful for all that M provides for us. It has been an amazing year for him and for me, with modest earnings this year as a fine artist.
I'm grateful that we left the east coast three years ago and started over. It was a big deal and the right decision, despite all the change, (and loss), that has occurred.
I try every day to be grateful for all of the loss that has happened, trying to find sense amongst the ashes. I don't subscribe to 'everything happens for a reason' because bad shit happens to good people for no reason at all, but I do believe there's a lesson and good that can come from tremendous change/loss/feeling lost.
And lastly, I'm extremely grateful that tattoo shop was too far to walk to in Nashville.
