Thanksgiving
So this is my first post on a blog since the days of xanga…yeah remember that?
Anyways I was having a really rather loving moment towards the holiday the other day and posted this on facebook… though the references to tagging dont apply here I still feel like it is more than appropriate.
So I’m sitting at home with my family and I’m loving every second and I have been thinking a lot lately about Thanksgiving and well what I’m thankful for. Its an old and really lame family tradition in my house that we say something we are thankful for at the dinner table on the big day and well since we all have families to be with and cant celebrate thanksgiving the way I want to by having all my nearest and dearest (friends, family, etc, etc) around one MASSIVE table I figure that this will have to suffice.
I’m really thankful for having each and everyone of you in my life. Really. This holiday is about Turkey and family and for me all of you are family. And that really hit me this summer when I found out that your biological family is not always the best judge of your character and what you need but rather that you are and that its the people who support you the most that also count as family.
So I wanted to shout out and say how much I love all of you and list off anything else I’m really thankful for this year.
1. Everyone I tagged in this note because you have each done something for me that I could have never asked for but that I needed.
2. My Grandmother. Even though she’s in isolation and I cant see her I’m really thankful she’s still here and I hope that she sticks around long enough for me to see her again.
3. My housemate. I know that she can be a bit much, but I honestly enjoy living with her.
4. THEATRE. I am a Theatre kid to the core, named after My Fair Lady and so thankful for everyone of my friends who contributed to bringing me into this.
5. Musicals…I know I know, how lame but honestly what would I do without musicals? nothing. I would be so bored!
6. Having “reparative” friends…and those of you who know what that means knows how hard it was for me to even find out that is what you were.
7. Doing things I never wanted to do but that I’m so happy I did. like auditioning for MMT, Hammer entertainment, planning WW, repping for WW, running for SRA, doing a thesis, dropping classes, producing, stage managing, Horizons, CLAY and so much more.
8. Everyone I didn’t tag in this note because you have done more than you think you have and more than I realize everyday.
9. Charities. Really. I honestly love the fact that I have had the opportunity to work with various charities and they do more than I ever could.
10. Everything I cant recall, don’t want to say, or have missed. Everything happens for a reason. And here we stand as a result of that :)
That’s what my Thanksgiving is all about this year and I wanted you all to be a part of that :)
