Gratitude on the go! 11-16-12

Today I am grateful for:
-A restful morning
-my new chair! I love it a lot.
-some quiet time.
-TGIF. I am Thankful for the weather. Again. It was 50 degrees! AGAIN! I cannot express how happy I am about that. I am Grateful for opening night at the workshop. Right before the show in the pre show announcements, John and Jenni talked about how it is a right of passage to be a part of election show and the holiday show. I've been watching the holiday shows (and the election shows for that matter) at the workshop for years and have admired them from afar. It is still so strange to think that I am part of the crew. And this show is so much fun! It's just silly, silly fun. I love it. I love my job. I am Inspired by our director Caleb and his hard work and dedication to the workshop.
-Feeling confident after the improv portion of the show. A part of me is still struggling with just allowing myself to just be happy about it. I don't want to be perceived as cocky. However, the other part of me is saying fuck what others think! Tonight, I am listening to the latter part.
-Amanda coming to support me and see my show.
-Getting a complement at from an audience member after the show that I didn't know.
-Being present. I am going to try to write down what I am being present to from now on. Tonight I am grateful that I am being present to the fact that I have a hard time focusing in big crowds. I want to keep moving around and bop in and out of different conversations instead of fully investing in the one I'm in at that moment. I am present to that now and I hope in the future to change that behavior.
-Padre. He has always been so supportive of me. I don't think he has ever missed a scripted show of mine. That is impressive. He's a good dude.

I'm pretty sure this will be our Christmas Card photo. 

-These quotes:

"The only person who never makes mistakes is the person who never does anything." 

"Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have."

-As always, my friends.
