Gratitude on the go! 11-15-13

Today I am grateful for:

-this quote: 

"Practice being gentle, respectful and loving toward the life force in all living things."

-having a relatively easy class today. 

-opening night at the workshop! It was super fun. The audience was a bit weird, but it was still a blast.
-Amanda creating this:

My dad had to miss the opening of my show tonight.
So Amanda made a cut out of him and put it on a branch.
It was hilarious. 

Here he is again with all my friends!
He's so excited to see the show.

"I'm a vegetarian!"
"Radical Hospitality!"
"Sports!"

-hanging out with Roomie after the show. She is just killin it right now and I couldn't be more excited for her. 

-being able to hang out at a bar with people and not feel awkward or anxious. We closed the place down! What?! Who am I? It was crazy, but also really fun.

-Andy saying some kind words to me. Granted he was really drunk, but I appreciate what he said anyway.
-Drunk complements in general. Being drunk is like truth serum, right? 

-laughter. Man. So much laughter. I fucking love laughter!
-swearing

-being present. I'm present that I'm still in a really good place. On stage tonight singing the 12 days of Christmas I once again had the thought that couldn't believe that this is my job. I grew up watching 12 days. Now I'm a part of it?! That's nuts. And having my friends come out to support me and cheer me on and hang out is just so freakin wonderful. I'm so insanely grateful. I'm softening into that joy hard. I deserve it. Life is too short to not enjoy these simple pleasures.
-the basics
-as always, my friends
