Gratitude 02/19/2012
 
Tonight I am consciously grateful for so many things -- my family's sweetness and health, Gramps's helpful visit and bonding with Nathaniel, my honey loving me as much as ever, the skills that enable me to get pretty good work in my chosen field, but in particular, I've been absorbing the wisdom I received from my friend Ulrich Ellison regarding the success of my Kickstarter campaign. Uli reminded me that the people who have pledged support to my record aren't doing it for the rewards, though those things help. They're doing it because they believe in the value of the music, and they believe in me. I am so grateful for people believing in music, believing in the value of what I do. In a world where many people's actions justify joy-crushing cynicism and distrust, I am uplifted by the realization that people still believe in each other, that we root for each other, and help each other the best we can. Many people go above and beyond. I pray to God in my heart that I may contribute to others in meaningful ways, every day of my life. Peace be with you, friends!
