 It's a beautiful day. It's time to go to my thinking trees. Here we go. I made it to the thinking trees. What a beautiful spot. Check this out. Happy Thanksgiving my friends. Well at least in the United States it's Thanksgiving, but I think every day is a great day to give thanks and show gratitude. I'm grateful for so many things in my life and it's not just the big accomplishments that I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for all the really hard times too because they taught me so much about life and compassion and love and just appreciation for what I have. You know this morning I was lying in bed and I was smiling to myself that I was grateful for all the heartbreaks I've had for the breakups I've had with these women I've had in my life and in the moment heartbreak is the worst thing in the world. It sucks. But looking back on it now I learned so much from those moments and I'm appreciative for everything that I've had and you know I don't look back on life with any regrets. Everything I've done in life has led to where I am right now and right now is pretty darn cool. I'm very happy with right now. And speaking of giving gratitude you've probably heard me talk about the gratitude march in some of my videos and I do the gratitude march in races and endurance events when things get really hard and I need some help for some outside help and with every step I take I think about somebody that I love my mom my dad my brother my sister and it helps me move forward and it takes my mind off of my own little pity party pain cave and it just fills my heart up with a little bit of with love and that's what helps me keep going forward in races and I've been thinking recently that you know the gratitude march doesn't just have to be done when things are hard it's something we should do every day or at least I want to do it every day or whatever I'm doing throughout you know my normal boring old day I stop and just appreciate life and family and friends and community and my healthy body and nature and flowers and clouds I mean it's it's endless what we can be grateful for right there's so much beauty in this world and I know that we can't always be positive we can't always be full of gratitude and lovey-dovey feelings we have hard days I have hard days I go through some serious moments where I question what am I doing with my life and you know it's okay to get down but what pulls me out of those moments always is gratitude and it's something that I've really learned as I've gotten older you know when I was younger I don't think I appreciated the little things in life as much as I do now you know and just looking at this entire year of 2020 what a year I mean it's been hard for pretty much every single person on this planet we're all in this together and yeah I would love today to be eating Thanksgiving with my family and hanging out with friends but that's just not what we get to do this year we have to like look out for others and stay safe and keep our gathering small and you know it would be easy to complain about things and just get down and negative but you know look where I am right now I'm sitting in a beautiful field by myself this is a new Thanksgiving tradition and you know it's good to have a little humor it's definitely gotten me through 2020 for sure and another thing that's really gotten me through 2020 is you all of you out there I can't thank you enough for watching my videos for supporting my channel it really is a dream come true to be able to share stories for living you know this YouTube dream that I had like five years ago is now coming true I am making a living making YouTube videos and sharing stories and inspiring people and you know paying my bills and buying burritos with YouTube money I mean that is as cool as it gets and when I first started on this journey I didn't know if it was gonna work you know I worked in the TV world for ten years before this and I had some success but it was really hard the entertainment industry is very fickle and you just you don't have any control over anything and when I started YouTube I was like I'm gonna build a channel big enough to the point where I'm gonna make a living making videos and my first videos didn't get any views for about a year and I was like oh god what am I gonna do now get another job maybe who knows but I'm so grateful that it's all working out and that has a huge that it has everything to do with you like it doesn't happen without you if nobody watches my videos I don't make a living and then I probably would just you know stop making videos so thank you all so much for being part of all this and it's it's a great honor to share these stories with you and I can I hope to do it for many many many many many many years and you know me I'm always gonna be smiling along the way and hopefully bringing some smiles to your faces and if I could reach through this screen right here I'd give you all a big hug right now a COVID safe hug of course and yeah I hope you all have a wonderful day wherever you are in the world if you're in the United States happy Thanksgiving if you're somewhere else like you know Australia good day I need to go to Australia one of these days anyway I love you all have a great day and we'll see you down the road for another adventure
