Gratitude Journal no. 5
/If you’re new here
I decided to challenge myself to publish my personal writing more. From pausing to deliberately reflect to getting more disciplined about creating for myself, I jumped into this goal. For a little more on this journey, check out my first public Gratitude Journal entry.

I am thankful for…
1. Family. There are times where I feel like survival would be much more difficult without the support of people related to me.
2. Connecting with new people. Where some people love what they know, I’m always curious to know what else and who else is out there. I’m thankful that I’ve maintained a life of constant new connections. It gives perspective and occasionally results in a new friendship, partnership, or project.
3. Music. It calms, comforts, and energizes me. It also connects me with others. At one point, I realized that 90% of my friendships are grounded in a passion for music. Our relationship with music may vary, but we’re all doing some combination of things centered around music: listening, playing, talking, dancing, watching, sharing, creating.
