8 things i’m thankful for. (not including the new wheels)

The incredibly awesome gig with the Ryan Forrester Band on Saturday night. (Plus it was nice to be called “L Train” again.)

Being involved and engaged in positive, healthy conversation about diversity, where the main focus is to be respectful of each other.

The importance of not just listening, but taking the time to truly hear what is being said.

That when I do my morning walks, I never look back to see what’s behind me, and I just focus on what’s ahead.

Marching to my own beat – if I lived according to the status quo, I’d be miserable.

My incredibly eclectic group of friends….they truly run the gamut!

Lew Soloff’s trumpet solo on Blood, Sweat & Tears’ “Lucretia McEvil”…..it’s musicianship on a completely different level!

Peace.
