-These quotes:
"Realise that what you are, cannot be born nor die, and with the fear gone all suffering ends."
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
"Listen. It's in this moment you'll hear what you need to know."
"Listen. It's in this moment you'll hear what you need to know."

-This amazing site! Particularly this. I complete agree with this view point on improvisation. It is a way of life. It's wonderful. I'm gonna recommend this site to my class.
-working with some great kids for a corporate gig. They were so engaged. It was fun to see how much support they gave one another.
-Nora reaching out and talking to me when she's in struggle. I feel very honored that she feels comfortable enough to do that. I admire her bravery.
-a beautiful email from Amy. I miss her. She nailed it in her email when she said this: "I miss you. I miss the proximity of you, you know? And I miss walking into our room and just peeling off the layers of defense after being in "The World." I would come home and peel off the layers and be me, and be safe. That is something I cherish about our time living together, especially the last year. I'm happy we had that time."
-making lunch/dinner at home
-a really fun audience for tonight's show.
-a wonderful set. I felt really solid in what I was doing. I played vast characters from each other and felt confident in my choices. I'm learning to play to my strengths. I'm always going to try to push myself to continue and grow. In improv and life. Good thing they reflect one another.
-Amanda coming to see the show. She brought some friends too. They were very sweet and expressed how much they liked the show.
-that I wasn't in my car when some one hit it and ran off. The police don't know who it was and they didn't get a license plate so it's unlikely that we'll ever know who did it. Like I said, I'm grateful that one one was hurt. I'm grateful I have insurance. I'm grateful for the cop who waited with my car until I showed up and then continued to stay until my dad and the tow truck came. I'm grateful that I have AAA. I'm really grateful my dad was able to come and pick me up and take me home. There's a lot to be grateful for. I can't say I'm not upset. Because I am. I am upset. I'm pissed off someone hit my car and then took off. I'm upset at myself for being upset. I was really cool, calm, and collected until about 10 minutes ago where I just started crying. I felt overwhelmed. All sorts of emotions were flooding my way. I felt pissed, sad, confused, flustered, scared, relieved, etc. It was all triggered by an email my dad sent me. He's scared which is totally understandable. I appreciate that he told me how he was feeling. I'm trying to sit with him in that. He's allowed to feel that way. At first I was frustrated. I thought, "Can you please just for once be the grown up?" But he was. He is. I'm uncomfortable because he was. He was being vulnerable with me. It took me a second, but now I'm realizing that's what it was. I sent him an email back thanking him for his help and reassuring him that I'm okay. Because I am. I am okay. Everyone is okay. And in the end, that's what matters.
-Emily chatting me online tonight. It was kind of perfect timing. It was right when I was feeling overwhelmed. It was so great to feel heard and to be able to just talk about what I was feeling. I felt supported and that is a fantastic feeling.
-I'm grateful that it didn't start raining during the day. It was suppose to rain all day and never did.
-that the storm is happening now late at night. The sound of a thunderstorm helps me sleep.
-this blog. It's my 1 year anniversary with this blog. Happy one year! I think the gift for one year is paper? Haha how ironic. I really do love this blog. I love the freedom it has given me. I love how it helps me to process my day. Like today is a perfect example. I was upset right before I started writing. About the car wreck. But while I was writing I calmed down and was able to dissect what was actually going on in my head. I love how it keeps me present to all the amazing things around me and finding the silver lining in the hard things. Because yes some days are harder than others. I'm so grateful to be able to go back and reflect on the things that have happened over this past year. I debated whether or not to keep this blog going after one year. I'm gonna say yes.
