Finished the prologue to my novel today. The hardest part in doing something new is starting; whether it's a new novel, a new relationship, or a new life.
I'm grateful that I can write with a semblance of skill. I'm grateful my two daughters are happy and healthy. I'm grateful for a sunrise through my office window that reminded me of a day when I was 8. I'm grateful for two kittens sitting on my feet as I type. I'm grateful that my daughter loves the birthday cakes I bake. I'm grateful to have a good job when so many are unemployed. I'm grateful for getting my 1mile interval under 9 minutes. I'm grateful for the love my wife gives to my children. I'm grateful that both my mom and my sister have rewarding, loving relationships after so much pain. I'm grateful that God has given me the courage and strength to survive this crucible.
