Today I am grateful for:
-sleeping I believe close to 9 hours. So incredibly needed. So wonderful.
-lunch with the roomie. Lunch for her. I got breakfast. Because breakfast is good any time of the day thank you very much.
-a voice over with DQ today. Always fun to work with them.
-a spontaneous late afternoon movie. Robocop. It was fine. Nothing terrible. Nothing amazing either. We were the only ones in the theater though. Turns out they play the movie regardless if anyone is in there or not. (We were about 10 minutes late)

"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway."

-finally feeling like myself again. Thank. Goodness.
-laughter
-chatting with both Jaime, Amy, and Bead for a bit today.

"The sweetest joy, the wildest woe, is love."
-Eli, the kid I was babysitting today, taking a 3 hour nap. I needed to get some work done so it was very convenient.
-podcasts.
-having the time to make dinner at home.
-being invited to trivia. It's only my second time going and I was nervous. However it was much more relaxed than I thought it would be and the people were very nice. We got fourth place! I think that's pretty darn good considering there were 20 tables playing. :)
-being able to socialize again. It seems like such a non thing until it's something you can't seem to do.
-laughter
-cleaning. Cleaning is usually a good sign for me mentally. Or it means I'm procrastinating. It's the former for this situation.

"My hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done; try to love somebody; have the courage to accept love in return."
-the apple store being able to fix my phone.
-Blogs. There are a couple of friends of mine who haven't blogged in awhile and they started up again recently. I really enjoy their blogs so it's pretty rad.
-my friend Hannah putting this project together. I think it's really fascinating.
-my youth class. They were on fire today and they make me proud.
-laughter
-having the energy to go see a show at the BLB tonight. Lots of amazing talent. It was great to watch
-the basics
-hanging out with friends
-waking up from my nightmare. Or I should really say night terror. It's been a really long time since I've had one, which I am also grateful for. I kind of blame the fact that I took melatonin way too late at night and didn't get enough sleep. However, waking up was seriously the best.

Today I am grateful for:
Lets change it up shall we? I really want to think about what I am grateful for today. At the moment I could list a thousand things I'm not grateful for. I'm not going to do that though. I honestly don't know what to say. I can say the usual things I write about, which yes, I am still grateful for. However I really want to try to reflect about what really, actually stood out to me today.
The one thing that keeps popping into my head was when I was walking to the bus stop. The sun was shining so brightly against the mounds and mounds of snow that we've gotten over the last couple months. Particularly though over the last few days. It was quiet out. The sound of snow being packed down towards the ground as I was walking really made me feel good for some reason. It was cold out but not as cold as it has been. That was nice. I felt compelled to pull out my phone and take a video of how much snow is actually all over. When I got to the bus stop I put on my headphones and put on a podcast. Radiolab. It was about the NSA. Made me think of Matt, who is a bit paranoid about the NSA. Ironically I would find out much later in the night that it was his birthday today. Happy birthday, Matt. Sitting on the bus listening to radiolab was very peaceful. I am grateful for that moment in time. It really is the little things.

Today I am grateful for:
-my therapist. Yesterday was a rough one. I was put in a situation at work where there was nothing I could do to change it nor could I really talk about why I was so upset. It was a combination of feeling overwhelmed and angry and I still have no idea how to really deal with anger yet. I woke up this morning still feeling pretty bent out of shape so I thought I'd just email my therapist because she always says I can contact her whenever I'm struggling. I'm so glad I did. I felt heard and reassured that the way I was feeling was okay and justified. Not to mention she responded incredibly fast. I'm so very grateful for that.
-having the afternoon off
-public transportation
-getting a little drunk. My car got stuck in the garage today and as a result I could have a drink after the show since I wasn't driving. And by one drink I mean two strongbows. I might have gotten more than a little drunk. I was solidly drunk. Didn't feel like I did or said anything stupid though. I think I needed it. It was a long week. That should last me for another 6 months or so. :)

Today I am grateful for:
-my therapist. It was so incredibly helpful to actually talk about what has been going on. She listened like a champ and supported me and reassured me. She said something really great. She said that we can talk about what exactly is running through my head, but we know that it's not true so maybe we shouldn't give those thoughts any more time. So smart. She's right. As always. She also brought up the point that this is not the worst that it's been. I've had much worse episodes before. Not to minimize how I'm feeling, she's just pointing out that the work that I've been putting in is paying off. Thank goodness. It was a good perspective to have. I'm also allowing myself to just lean in and feel it because I can't change the fact that it's happening to me. It's gonna happen no matter what, but what I can do is not believe that this is how it'll be forever. That these awful thoughts that make me feel selfish and worthless are the truth. Because they're not true. The storm will pass and I'll be back to myself again soon. One minute at a time.
-having lunch with Jen. It was just her and myself today. No Oscar. It was kind a nice change. I love me some Oscar, but it was really great to really chat with Jen about what's been going on in her life. She's good people that Jen. Super good people.
-taking the afternoon/evening off for myself. A mental health day if you will. I put on my pjs, made myself some tea, and watched stupid tv. I also took a quick nap in there too. I feel so much more rested.
-The Ellen Show. Continually making me laugh.

-nannying Maisie. She's very content just playing and observing things. Super adorable
-seeing a movie with Amanda. American Hustle. It was pretty good. Good performances anyway.
-watching a movie with Jaime. Bubba Hotep. I can't believe it was on Netflix. Jaime humored me and watched it. I effing love that movie. Super dry. Super silly. Super awesome.
-my actual physical journal. It's been quite awhile since I've used it. It felt good though to get the pen on the paper. A bit more freeing.

-being present. I'm present to this morning being a bit rough. I had a lot of big thoughts but wasn't really able to feel them. I felt a bit numb, which is basically what it feels like to be stuck. It worried(s) me. It got better once I was able to actually haul my ass out of bed and start doing things but that took a lot of time and effort. It's probably something I need to talk about in therapy. Ugh. Frustrating. I know it shouldn't be. It's not something I can help happening. However it is something I can help work through.
-Amanda helping me not feel guilty for taking the day off. Also just in general. She's really good at reinforcing people's strengths. I need that sometimes.

-my mom coming over for a little bit. She's going on a big trip to Australia and Sri Lanka coming up soon and this was basically the only time we could see one another. It was a bit hard.

"Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it."
-brunch with kdog. We went to a new place. It was pretty great. We had fun, as usual. We talked about potentially traveling together. Somewhere far away. Australia ideally.
-Liv agreeing to cover my class tomorrow! The best!
-coming home and eating a warm brownie with some ice cream.
-watching a movie with jaime while catching up on gchat. I really love our movie nights. They're so much fun. Even if the movie is awful! :)
-laughter

Gratitude on the go! 2-7-14
Today I am grateful for:
-being able to do a VO for the YMCA. 6 spots. Might have recorded it at 8am, but it was totally worth it.
-Andy agreeing to go early to grab food before rehearsal.
-Peas. Especially peas that come in single serving packets
-another super fun preview. It was a full audience and they were going NUTS. Although apparently it's still 20 minutes too long. Tomorrow we find out what gets cut. I've made my peace with whatever happens. It's also been made very clear that all the material works and now it's just a matter of timing and flow.
-laughter
-coming home to find Amanda and her friends hanging out and eating their leftover food. Outstanding.
-the basics
-finally getting to bed.
-being present. I'm present that today has been a long day. A good long day, But a long day none the less. I can definitely feel it in my body that I'm starting to wear down. There were moments today where I was starting to feel my body and mind begin to shut down. There was nothing that could have been done about that in the moment, but I did have awareness of it and was able to regroup. I made it through and I'm extremely grateful to be home and in bed.

"Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it."
-Maisie. She's seriously such a gem.
-first preview going over well! Lots of good laughs and a good crowd. Although it was about 30 minutes too long...
-laughter
-Amanda cleaning the apartment. I think I was a bit in shock and kept apologizing that I didn't clean first. Then I realized it's because I've been the only one cleaning my apartment for the last two years practically. It was just so nice to have someone else do that for a change. :)
-having the apartment to myself for a little bit. I was able to just sit quietly and watch some tv and drink some tea before I went to bed.
