Daily Comment

It is Friday. I am looking forward to the weekend. Tonight I will go out to a bar or two where I have friends playing, tomorrow I have a gig with Bradshaw Blues in a new place, and on Sunday I'll be out jamming with my musician buds at my two regular and longest-attended open mics.

Not to keep harping on it, but I'm grateful for these opportunities, for my life that permits them.

Gratitude seems to be the key to happiness.

I'm grateful to not be in Buffalo, who have a huge advantage at the very beginning of the Golden Snowball competition this year, with six feet of snow before Syracuse has had even one.

I'm grateful for my job, which I abuse regularly, to no ill effect on anyone.

I'm grateful to celebrate my fourth anniversary with i am Fool, and the friendship the members of the band has gifted me with; and the same thanks for eighteen months of music and friendship with Bradshaw Blues.

I'm grateful for what health I have, enough to keep me going.

I'm grateful for my loved friends and family, beyond words...

Yeah, maybe boring, but I'm just one stinking pile of gratitude. And happy for it.

This is what I think about when I am bereft of ideas for the Daily Comment. I find it helpful...
