Today I am grateful for:
-Breaking Ice. We did our 4 shows today and they all went really well I thought. Fun group of people. The show makes me reflect a lot on college since, you know, that's what the shows are all about. One of our post show discussions one of the students said that it's so hard to meet new people and how everyone is put together and basically people just spit out the same information to everyone over and over hoping to form a connection. It made me remember how insanely grateful I am for Amy and her ability to just go up to people and make connections. It's a skill that I admire so much and am so grateful for. I still remember walking on the mounds and hearing my name being called from behind me and Amy bounding up and introducing herself to me and immediately asking if I wanted to go for a ride with her to the village to the record store. I remember thinking, "Can I just go into this stranger's car? I don't have to ask permission anymore. I make my own decisions now. Sure, why not. What's the worst that can happen?" It might be to this day one of the best decisions I've ever made.
-taking a nap with the rest of the cast during our break.
-one of the students coming up to me after the show and complementing me on my voice being so clear.
-laughter
-the incredible sunset over lake Calhoun. The water was this beautiful light crystal blue and the sky was all sorts of shades of pink. It brought a smile to my face.
-late night drives with padre. It was a quiet drive. I was feeling I think a bit overwhelmed at the start of the drive. Being with people all day and being "on" with no real alone time can be difficult for me. On the very long drive and I was able to decompress I think. We didn't really talk that much (well he talked a bit and I listened) which I think also helped. Padre even said that he could feel my energy shift by the end of the drive.
-the basics
-my comfy cozy bed
-remembering to live in the moment
-as always, my friends
