I don't ever want to be afraid to walk the world in my own way

Trying to get TGI handled before I head to the airport for another shot at the wonderful red-eye to the East Coast.*  Because, you know, I haven't done this in a month or so.  Maybe this time we won't get the 115 am movie preview throughout the plane, but I am armed with earplugs just in case.

Today I am trusting that I really can "learn" to be in a place that's a little uncomfortable, even one that makes me squeamish, for a few minutes.  That's the place that lets me say no to things that I'm not wildly passionate about so I don't end up thinking, "I really should NOT have done that."  It's an important lesson that has hit home a little bit lately.

Today I am grateful for friendships that transcend miles and time.  Funny how that same space and time can give you perspective.

Today I am inspired by gratitude.  Not necessarily my own, but the gratitude that I see being offered up in so many ways around me.  It's humbling.  It's a good reminder of what we should all be doing all of the time.  As a wise, wise man once wrote in a song, "The days that my gratitude is higher than my expectations...those are the really good days."


Now listening:  Lee Ann Womack "The Story of my Life" (I went back to her Call me Crazy album this week in a fit of listening to "Have you seen that girl?")

*Post was done.  Blogger and I have been fighting every Friday night for the last month or so.  Therefore, TGI posted from ATL during my Saturday morning layover.  Enjoy!
