Daily gratitude: writing

If I ever needed a reminder that writing isn’t just a job, but part of who I am and changes my life, I just need to remember that I’m visiting a friend in Texas who I met because I once wrote about her, way back when, in what feels like another lifetime. And now I get to sit in the sun and read Grace Coddington’s memoir and dream big and plot out how to make “writing from anywhere” a permanent state. I may make some very expensive mistakes, but I’m incredibly lucky, and I don’t ever want to be such a spoiled brat that I forget that. I even bought a Hello Kitty gratitude journal that I plan to fill with all the awesomeness going on in my life, in case I ever get so stuck in the bad that I forget it exists.
