I am grateful for the possibilities ahead of me

Possibility is easier to be grateful for than reality, mostly because it hasn't disappointed anyone yet. It's a pleasant place to visit and a bad place to live.

The honest version narrows. Not *anything could happen*, but: there are three or four specific things that could plausibly begin this year, and at least one of them waits on something you'd have to start.

That narrowing is what turns possibility into a plan rather than a mood.

Name the one that would matter most. What's its actual first step — the small, unimpressive one you could take before Friday?
