Hey Reader,

I've been sat here for the last 20 minutes thinking about what to write.

I take that as a good sign.

You see, writing online has been therapy for me.

I've shared all of life's ugly details with you.

But right now, I feel a sense of peace I haven't experienced in a while.

Things are good.

So much so, I've ditched my original plans for this email.

Instead, I thought I'd share 7 things I'm grateful for.

Maybe it'll encourage you to do the same.

5 minutes is all you need.

Gratitude list

#1 Relationship with my mum: We've always been close, but Rich's passing has brought us closer.

#2 My girlfriend: She met my mum a couple of weekends ago. They hit it off straight away (huge relief!)

#3 New connections: I reached out to Maria after reading her Medium articles. (They're great!) We've since gone back and forth over email and enjoyed a 2-hour conversation last week. It's amazing what can happen when you thank people for their work.

#4 Japan travels: I'm flying out to Tokyo this Sunday and cannot wait!

#5 Football commentary: I commentated on my fourth game last Tuesday. (You can follow along on X, TikTok, and YouTube). And an old man came up to at half-time to say how much he enjoyed my commentary.

#6 My workplace: We now have a darts board. This is on top of a pool table and regular socials. I can almost hear our clients saying, "So THAT'S where our money goes" 😅 (We've got open roles in the UK and US if you fancy joining us)

#7 The sun is shining: And life feels good :)

As always, thanks so much for reading, and have a wonderful weekend!

Scott
