Okay.  Okay.  Okay.

I know.  I know.  I know.

I need to start writing on this blog.

And while this post may not connect well to any of the bigger things I want to do with my life, it is connected to my life.

Ya see?

I have a daily gratitude practice…

…and it has changed my friggin’ life!

My brain has become what I call a Zero Point Positive Energy Generator and it is AWESOME.

I will eventually elaborate on what I mean, but this is just a post to force me back into blogging.

So, I’m just going to free write about things I am grateful for, like I do every morning.  I missed it today and this lets me knock out two birds with one stone.

With no further ado…

I am grateful.
