I never write this blog with the idea that anyone actually is listening but my computer. But I suppose that's how cyberspace works. You put it out there and it's there. This blog is that silent listener for me. It's my horrendously underpaid psychiatrist.

The Measure of Success

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.                                                        -Victor Hugo (Les Miserables)

I was realizing the other day that I have several things to be proud about. 

  • I have not let bad things in my personal life affect my overall attitude or my work.
  • I have successfully started the first drama program to ever be at a school exposing over 250 kids to drama for the first time. 
  • I continually reach out to friends and rarely just sit at home by myself.
  • I go to the gym alone from time to time to work out.
  • I am directing and producing a school play all by myself.
  • I'm going to audition for some summer Shakespeare shows this weekend. 
  • I've been pretty great at and happy with being single. 
  • I voluntarily got a shot at the doctor's office and did not pass out. 
Sometimes it is the little things. And sometimes there are several little things that all add up. Right now, I don't need anyone else to be proud of me. I am proud of myself.
