Thankful for Life

A reflective mood prompted me to wake up early today and express my appreciation for this limited production called my life, which I direct, produce, edit and star in. I chuckle because those are the same roles I undertook for the short film I did this summer for the 48 Hour Film Festival.

Life is rewarding and challenging. I grow more appreciative as the seasons fade. At this very moment, before the holiday officially kicks in, I am :

Healthy and blessed.

Always learning.

Pushing forward.

Plunky.

Youthful in spirit.

Talking from the heart.

Honest about my shortcomings.

Able to laugh often.

Needing guidance and seeking it.

Happy to be above ground.

Keeping the faith.

So pleased I have a great husband.

Growing.

Idealistic.

Valued (and forgiving those who don’t see it.)

In touch with the real me.

Never abandoning my dreams.

Grateful to love and be loved.

Enjoy your own reflections.

Happy Thanksgiving!
