Gratitude Journal no. 16

April 24, 2024

I am thankful for…

1. Being gifted a love for reading. Both my parents are always reading something new. Sometimes for fun, other times for learning. Reading has always been normal to me and for that I am thankful.

2. This time of the year when the green starts to take over and 5pm feels like midday.

3. Connections. A student I knew almost 20 years ago is a friend of a person I just met. The world is small if you make connections with others. I’m thankful for learning that at young age because I had lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins to keep up with. I’m glad I was able to practice and find value because I appreciate the connections even more as I age.

If you are one of my connections and it’s been a while, seriously please do reach out to me. I sometimes struggle with being the weirdo who reaches out to old friends and colleagues, other times I own it and the results are often mutually beneficial. If you reach out to me, I’ll be nothing but delighted.

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.
