Gratitude Should Be Captured

Grateful for a lot today. When you are feeling gratitude, you should capture it some how. Gratitude compounds with time. The small things you are grateful for in the present will seem like old friends in the future. Going over them will feel like reminiscing over half-remembered happenings.

Here is the list of things I am thankful for today:

• Tessa, who is a creative genius most days, but has been especially such lately.
• Twitter and unexpected connections. I love the randomness finding cool people on the internet has introduced into my life.
• The finished short story I wrote while sitting at The Meteor awaiting my ride last month.
• Our Alamo movie pass. We’ve seen more movies at the theaters in the last six months than the previous few years. This week we saw Beau Is Afraid and Chevalier. I am also thankful Ari Aster chose filmmaking.
• Kevin Kelly. I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts with Kevin on lately and his generosity for sharing ideas and wisdom is limitless. I’ve been a huge fan of Kevin’s annual “unsolicited advice” posts and can’t wait to read his latest book.
• Replit and Ghostwriter. You’ve helped me go from idea to MVP way faster than I ever thought possible. Replit is slowly becoming akin to a digital lab where I pull my shower thoughts into reality.
• June pup, for laying lazily while I write this.
• My evening walks, which have brought many ideas lately, including Recbox.
