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?

Thank you for the reminder to look for things for which to be grateful when times aren't the best. I'm grateful for my doggy and a good support system in family and friends.
