It's the last half of the last day of the month and I haven't even opened this blog since last I wrote. I'm exhausted and demoralized and downright angry. I'm also getting up and putting one foot in front of the other because it's all I know how to do.
Rather than bemoan the bad I'm going to bang out a quick gratitude list (typo - LUST) and be proud of the accomplishment.
I am grateful for...
- Good books
- My freaking awesome dog
- Friends who love and care for my dog
- Friends who love and care for the plays I write
- The opportunity to act
- Plenty of clients
- Decent health insurance
- Good TV shows
- Delicious chocolate
- Weird theatre
- Having laundry facilities in my building
- New York freaking City!
- The barista who smiled at me SO HARD today that I couldn't fail to respond
- Modern allergy medication
- Modern pain medication
- Modern dentistry
- Friends who have a sense of humor
- The entire concept of the podcast
- The internet and its ability to keep me close to people I would otherwise not be so close to
- Clients who keep coming back
- Clients who "get it"
- Penelope Brackett and all her techniques
- That one day we got to drink in the sunshine and watch the clouds
- My mattress
- My eyesight
- My ability to multi-task
- My memory
- Warm clothing
- An apartment of my own
- Whatever sense of self-control I still possess
- Probably, hopefully, a million other things that I've forgotten right now but will remember as they pop up in everyday life.
What are you grateful for?
