A BOAST

Here; is to a time for giving Thanks. This isn’t a cliché for family and friends as they know where I stand; unconditionally, with out word. This isn’t for those who have helped me along the way when a hand was needed most. This isn’t about any prized possessions I deem dear. This is Thanks for the gift you didn’t even know you gave…

I found something inside me this last year that I didn’t even know existed. Though I am not fully sure what it is yet or where it will go; I know I like it. As I have found my voice…

I would have never found it; if it weren’t for something I felt so obligated to share.
I would have never known how to write it; if it weren’t for a framework I understood.
I would have never had the words; if I wouldn’t have had the practice.
I would have never heard my voice; if you wouldn’t have told me to listen.

With the subtle guidance from the literary greats; Mike Rich, Woody Allen and Malcolm Gladwell I have found my barometer and Thanks to you I have found my meter.

Baily; I say Thanks for giving me something to write about.
Garret; I say Thanks for showing me the one word anecdote.
Frank; I say Thanks for the decades of practicing my Snarkiness.
