Gratitude

I saw this starting somewhere else - I can't remember now, alas, or I'd give credit - and it reminded me that I wanted to try it. I've done it before, and it's a good project, and a good personal challenge. And right now I'm in a good headspace after spending a couple of days surrounded by friends and love, and working on the inside of my head, so I'm going to give it a try.

What is it, particularly? For the rest of this month, I'm going to try to post one thing every day that I am grateful for. Between Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday, anyway) and the holiday season in general approaching, it's a nice way to keep my mind focused on the good things that the world in general and this season in particular bring to me.

Today I am grateful for local theater. In about an hour I'll be on my way to meet up with a friend to get dinner and go see 'Legally Blonde.' I have been looking forward to this for weeks - live shows are a blast, and I am lucky to have the chance to go see this, and to share it with someone who loves it as much as I do. I'm dressed up (probably more so than I have to be) - because I love the opportunity to make an activity into an Event, I've got the soundtrack ready on my Ipod, and I am ready to go.

This is going to be awesome. :)

Edited to add: Ohmigod you guys, words cannot say how much fun that was. I so miss doing theater....
