Gratitude

"Thank you" doesn't seem to match the immensity of this gratitude.


We've been busy I can tell you that. I keep hearing that when you want something the world will test you. Proving grounds. As we are working on our album release campaign with 3 music videos, 2 release parties, 3 photo shoots for the album design, 6 making-of videos,  revamping the website, and booking an east coast tour delays and the like run amuck. I used to get discouraged easily, but that became exhausting. There's no time for that when you have things you want to accomplish. Energy is important. Better to focus on something that gives you strength.

For me that is the vision. Where and what I see for myself down the road. Setbacks scatter like dust in comparison. You can use the friction to stoke the fire, gain that momentum.

Lately it feels almost like water. There's an obstruction, water flows around it. When faced with an obstacle, frustration is now replaced by creativity and vigor. Almost to the point its become a game. Cat and mouse. It's a puzzle. Thinking 3 steps ahead. Always running...like water.

Not to say there haven't been times I've found myself cursing at my computer. These days its more because I know its slowing me down rather than feeling I don't have the resources. Truth is, now I do. I'm capable of fixing/working with it, but I know the time that it will take to get back on the workflow. There's a lot to accomplish. Time management has gotten a lot better.

Thankful for this developing perspective. Grateful for the support. Grateful for the opportunity to challenge myself and grow.
