Gratitude on the go! 5-21-14

Today I am grateful for:
-these quotes:
"Why worry about what might or might not happen when the heart is longing only to drink in the breath of this moment?"

"For every dark night, there's a brighter day."
"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow."

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

I actually debated writing tonight. I thought, "maybe I should sleep on how I'm feeling." I think I'm still kind of debating it. I'm not trying to be cryptic, I just had a really, really hard fucking day. However, I am grateful that I was able to take some time to sort myself out though. I am soo grateful that I had the support of loved ones to talk me through my actual, literal melt down. I'm grateful that I allowed myself to reach out. It was a last resort, but a needed one. I'm grateful that my jobs were flexible and understood that I would be running late and didn't pry too much into what was going on. I'm grateful for remembering to breathe, (and being reminded by others) and that these feeling will pass. One minute at a time. One minute at a time. Taking the world by one little baby storm at a time. #lbs. 

Gratitude on the go! 5-4-14

Today I am grateful for:
-these quotes:
"I was never insane except on the occasion when my heart was touched."
-Padre saving the day when my car overheated and I was stranded on the side of the road. He brought me coolant and showed me how to refill my tank if necessary.
-Some really awesome ladies at Caribou the other day. They were both super friendly and smiled and looked me in the eyes. It's the little things that go a long way.
-Running another 5k!
-fun times in the dressing room. Seriously, we play the stupidest games for far too long and it's the best!
-two words. Butt. Surfing.
-laughter
-this weekend of shows. It's been pretty stellar. Great audience, great improv, and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. Boom!
-beating the game I've been playing for weeks. Double Boom!
-some seriously wonderful support from my friends far away.
-emails
-daring greatly and signing up for personal training.
-getting complimented on my style choices. Seriously? That will never get old.
-driving around the lakes at night
-podcasts
-talking about podcasts
-the incredibly beautiful and big crescent moon. It was low in the sky and was a deep yellow.
-being able to go to Christine's wedding shower. While I was there, I was talking to this person I barely knew and she off the cuff said something that kind of blew my mind:
"Oh you know. I'm just trying to breathe in and out and to be less and less of a douchebag each day." I have no idea why that really struck me, but it did. Might be my new favorite motto.
-feeling happy tonight. It's been awhile so it feels particularly amazing.
-the basics
-as always, my friends
