What I’m Grateful for This Year

by Michelle Ward

I’m grateful for the love I receive every minute of every day from my sweet, funny, kind, intelligent, handsome husband. I’m grateful that he asked me to be a part of Team Awesome for the rest of my days, and that I took his name so the world would know it. I’m grateful to be his wife and will forever remain proud of the man that will always stand beside me.

I’m grateful for the wedding of our dreams that happened just 10 short weeks ago – the amazing vendors, the lack of rain, the family and friends that went above and beyond. I’ll think of that day every day and will be filled with love, happiness and gratitude.

I’m grateful to my family, who just keeps growing – whether through marriage, babies, or friendship.

I’m grateful to my Mom, who remains my best friend even when I sometimes (mistakenly) think I don’t want her to be.

I’m grateful to my clients, who give me the honor & responsibility of being their coach, as well as the opportunity to become a more kick-ass one each and every day.

I’m grateful to my coaches and teachers for infusing within me both personal and professional knowledge.

I’m grateful to Julie Bestry, who has unselfishly made me her pet project and allowed me to really clear my mind – figuratively and literally – so that I’m able to, yes, Grow Up.

I’m grateful for this blog and for all of those who read it. You’ll never know the thrill I get with each and every (non-spam) comment I receive.

I’m grateful for all of those who believe in this business and my worth as a coach and a friend. It’s given me both confidence and motivation to make this dream come true.

I’m grateful to Opening Doors Theater Company, who has opened the door for me to work with an amazing group of people who are committed to producing fun, wonderful, quality shows. Thank you for keeping that door open so I can allow musical theater to be a part of my life.

I’m grateful for my day job that gives me the financial support I need.

I’m grateful for being able to live in the greatest city in the world – one that’s full of possibilities, energy, and good times.

I’m grateful for my friends, who personify the meaning of “friendship” every day.

So……what are you grateful for?
