The Gratitude List (Redux for B, B, & B - You May Pick Which "B" You Want to Be)

Although staying in on a Wednesday night isn't really anything new for me, there are currently two events taking place that I would really like to begin attending. At the Highland Club, a dude I really admire is going through his personal process with anyone willing to listen; meanwhile, everyone else seems to be hitting the Refuge Meditation Group for their mid-week sessions on holism and spiritual strength. I'd like to be at both places at once, and I may have found myself seated in either location at this time tonight, but home works were calling my name. The one specific thing that I need to complete is finalizing this letter related to everything that happened in my experience with the practice. In talking to Ryan tonight, I realized that a big part of the funk I've been feeling has a tremendous amount to do with the fact that I've been sitting on this effort for a week now. The only way to get rid of it is to get it done.

And with so many positive things happening in my life (I've not yet mentioned the fact that I am soon to be a continuing contributor to one of our local publications - more about that at some other time), there is no reason that I should allow myself to feel funky or stagnated or any other comparable way.

Before I run downstairs and turn off my baking chicken nuggets, transfer one load to the dryer to start another in the wash, and work on this letter to appease my spirit, I've been promising a new gratitude list to a few people.
