Happy Thanksgiving

I love a good rollercoaster. There's something about the anticipation of clicking up the first incline that is such a rush. The feeling that you are going to scream like a little girl for the next minute because you will may lose your stomach(and maybe a funnel cake) at any moment.

This blessing and the curse of the creative brain is much like a rollercoaster. One moment, you can be so high and the next moment, it is almost like you just want to lay down and suck your thumb and cry. I was talking about one of my low moments with a friend recently and he had wise council. He said that whenever he has one of these low moments, he always tries to remember to be grateful. I am trying to live this out. There is so much to be grateful for. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful wife, a loving family, and provided more than I need. I am so thankful.

It's making me realize that gratitude really is good for the soul.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Okay...just typing that made me think of Christmas but that is not the subject of this entry. I just received an email from my friend Ross. He had this to say...

"Dude. I am sick of checking in at your blog and seeing the same thing...write something else...today please"

I have said this same kind of thing to a friend of mine named Randy Williams. When he started his blog, there was a few days in a row that he didn't post anything. I really enjoy the way that he writes. I saw him out somewhere and said...dude, what's the deal with your blog. He laughed and said "I can't think of anything funny to write about!"

So Ross...I know where your coming from. I've been there too. Just hold your horses. I haven't been inspired to blog. Plus, I've just been a little lazy.

Merry Christmas Ross.

This one's for you.
