present

I have a goal. I want to live more in the present moment. I want to ignore my iPhone, iPod, tablet, TV, and everything when engaging in conversation with those I love.

I am a real jackass about this currently. Bare with me. I'm going to fix this. This need to constantly respond to every text/email/Facebook comment has got to be reeled in. Join me in this effort? Call me out if I'm being a jerk with my electronics. Help me be a better human. Life is too short to miss because we were looking at a screen. I'm gonna do better. I said so on the interwebs, that's as legally binding as it gets.

I'm thankful for my youth. I'm thankful for everything my roaring 20's have brought my way. Cheers to living it up, because you only get ten years to be in your 20's.

Live Music

Tonight I am thankful for live music. I am heading North tomorrow to see fun. with one of my best friends. I'm thankful for the euphoria that happens while watching a band of musicians that you can tell understand the incredible privilege that it is to watch people sing along to a song you wrote. I have always said that must be the best feeling in the world. Tomorrow is going to kick ass.

The Gratitude Journal

I have been struggling with what to blog about for some time. I needed a theme, something to force me to write daily, even if it was a mere sentence or two. I bring you...The Gratitude Journal.

Today, I am grateful for my friends. I am grateful that we laugh, cry, struggle and rejoice together daily. I am enamored with their children, who call me Auntie Jen and melt my heart with their smiles. I am constantly in awe of the beautiful women I call my best friends. I love you all more than words on a page could do justice. You are incredible.
