Today I am grateful for:
-These quotes:
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
"Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable."
-A long day completed.
-A fun improv set.
-A quick pleasant exchange with my mom. She came to see the show tonight. She didn't bring me anything (+), she didn't pressure me about "hanging out" (+), and she didn't linger at the receiving line to talk to me (+). Basically it didn't feel like a big deal, which is a nice different change. I would be comfortable to interact with her more that way.
-Being present. I'm still very present to the fact that when I'm feeling overwhelmed I tend to shut down. I don't want to do it. I really want to work actively to not do it. I think a big step will be to put away my phone. I feel like I can check out and just play games, or look at facebook, or whatever I can to escape the moment without actually going anywhere. I think I'll bring this up with Marit to get some advice from her about what to do.
-The basics
-Laughter
-Love
-As always, my friends.
