I’ve learned that staying in a state of constant gratitude is almost a guarantee that more good will come my way. I try to do that daily. Even when I’m not feeling it, I act grateful until the feelings catch up with the actions.

On this thanksgiving I’m thinking about some of the things I’m most grateful for. There are too many to name but… here goes:

Family – to be sure I have a great family. For the most part everyone is happy and healthy. They have always been supportive even in my craziest endeavors.

Some I’m closer to than others. My brother Ryan in Colorado has taught me a lot over the years about how to live life free. My mother is always a phone call away and ready to listen. My daughter is kind, artistic and my daily partner on this trip.

Friends – I have some great friends. Some I talk to often and some I rarely need to talk to, just knowing they are on the planet doing their thing is enough.

My work – I skate through this life doing things that I’m passionate about. I’m most grateful for my independent spirit. The theory that, if you do what you love you will be a success, is no longer a theory. I live it. Drown out the critics and keep your eye on the prize. You can’t fail.

All the best,
Brent
