Morning update!

Yesterday was good. I had my class at UCB which was interesting, to say the least. I like being funny and writing funny things, but the thing I’m realizing is that (1) I want to write and (2) I want it to be so much more than just funny. It needs to have a deeper message. Humor is definitely a gift I’ve been given that I need to utilize in order to make a point and get my message across, but there’s so much more I want to express than just humor. Although I really like my writing class at UCB, I am being taught to write humor in a very specific and rigid manner. It’s not something I can’t do, I just want to do more at this point. And I want the flexibility to do more and to really create in the manner I see most fit. I’ve never fit well into boxes. I’ve got a few writer friends and plan on sending out a few emails asking for any help or guidance with it all. I’m sure someone will be able to point me in the right direction and my next steps will unfold quickly. I’m so excited to explore this further and see where it takes me!

I’ve also been keeping a gratitude list for a while. It’s been great! I like remaining grateful and naming a few specific things I’m grateful for everyday. This morning I decided I should really take it a step further and start to keep a ‘love’ list as well. So, going forward, in addition to the gratitude list I’m going to start making a list of things that I love. I think this will be really great for me! Woohoo!

Gratitude List:
A good night’s rest, finally.
