Thanksgiving

I've decided to write this post now, rather than later in the week because I have internet now. But not so much as of tomorrow.

Well on my phone I'll still have it. But anyone who blogs from their phone is making a huge mistake.

Anyway, I'm finally having a year that has given me much to be thankful for. I'm thankful that the play is over, and that it went well. I'm thankful for my new-found hobby/skill in acting, and for the theatre companies that I am already with that will give me much more experience. I'm incredibly thankful to be playing in a brass quintet with very professional and fun people, and that it will be going places some day.

On a more serious note, I'm thankful to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my dad and brother, who almost didn't make it to then. My brother's lung collapsed a couple of months ago and my father battled lung cancer earlier this year. Both of them are doing well now. :)

More than anything, I am thankful for my partner, Brian. (We're still officially just boyfriends, but that word cannot do justice to our feelings for each other, especially in a post about thanks.) He came into my life 4 months ago and turned it around completely. I feel better about performing than I have for years, I've tried new things that I never thought I would and there is this new stability in my manner that wasn't there before. I wake up easily most mornings when before Brian I would barely drag myself out of bed. I have a future now, whereas I barely did before.

I think I'll wrap it up with that. I'll probably go on another rant about gay marriage soon. Or the evil of potatoes. Or whatever.

Happy Thanksgiving! :)
