I am grateful for the elasticity of the mind, the ability to learn new things, or to relearn old things. After a few years of study and practice, I feel like I’m finally making progress with the guitar again.

I am grateful for the growth mindset. Knowing that we can form new habits, make changes to our lives, and become better humans gives us a sense of hope and promise.

I am grateful for the courage and strength to persist and grow throughout this pandemic. It’s been a hard year, but that hasn’t meant stagnation.
