Lots of blogs, including my old one, include a "Things I Love" meme that goes up weekly. I want to start putting a little spin on it, that goes beyond expressing love or appreciation and instead expresses the utmost gratitude and thankfulness that certain people, things, idea, etc. exist. My first one will be fairly short and simple, because I spent so much time sick this week I didn't really get out into the world a lot. This week I am most grateful for:
The vintage "Alice in Wonderland" posters my roommate randomly brought home one day.
Living in an apartment that allows me to have a cat.
The days I've gotten to spend drinking coffee and reading queer plays; and the opportunity I have to call it my job.
Beautiful things happening in my sister's life.
Having a roommate who's willing to keep me company on a Saturday night that I'm too sick to go out for.
Electric blankets.
Ceylon tea (I swear this is my last 'sick' thing!)
Guilty pleasure television shows (right now I'm all about 'Pretty Little Liars' and 'RuPaul's Drag Race').
Early birthday presents that I wasn't expecting (and the friends who sent them).
Getting invitations to Invited Dress performances of shows by super cute actors that I've worked with before.
Living in a city where veganism is possible and encouraged, running a theatre company is well received, and being gay is perfectly normal.
So, as promised this was (fairly) short and sweet. Take some time to ruminate over what's made you the happiest this week.
Peace, passion, and love.
Yay for happiness and success!
