Gratitude on the go! 12-12-12

Today I am grateful for:
-The date today!
12:12 on 12-12-12. #nerd.
-Podcasts
-these quotes:
"Be gentle first with yourself if you wish to be gentle with others."
"Wherever you go, go with all your heart." 
-The amazing audience at the show tonight. They were all so engaged and excited and their energy was with us the whole time. It was very rewarding.
-A super fun improv set. Fun characters. Lots of games.
-Getting a nice fb message from Valerie. I haven't heard from her in forever. She's going to be getting married soon and is loving the east coast. I'm genuinely happy for her.
-Being present. I'm present today that I have to own my whole story. It's hard for me to accept the things that have happened to me in my past make me who I am but do not define who I am. That's hard for me to come to terms with. Because I don't want to be defined by my past. As shallow as this is, I don't want others to define me by my past either. I know that the people who really matter in my life don't and won't care about that. They will love me and all my imperfections no matter what. I hope to be able to do that for myself someday too. I so badly want to believe that I am worthy of love and belonging. Especially romantically. I so want to believe that I am good enough. Right here. Right now. As I am today. A part of me somewhere knows that I am, but I want to be wholehearted not parthearted. The sooner I accept my whole story, the sooner I will believe that all of me is worthy of love and belonging.
-Refreshing my memory of the definition of vulnerability: Risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure. Amen. Thank you for this definition Dr. Brown.
-The practice of meditation.
-Getting an email from Amy
-The smell of my Christmas tree when I walk into my apartment.
-The basics
-Laughter
-As always, my friends
