thankful

This is not a complaint.  Not at all.  In any way.  This is me being so grateful for all the opportunities that I've become a part of.  I have three jobs.  I'm a head bookkeeper that has now successfully trained a new backup bookkeeper.  I'm a receptionist/learning automotive service writer.  I've gone from stage manager to assistant director at a children's theatre.  I'm in two numbers in an absolutely amazing dance show, my third year being involved in it.  And outside of all of that, yet intermixed and intertwined and weaving in and out of all of it, I'm learning, I'm growing, I'm loving, I'm crying, I'm laughing.  I think I'm actually becoming an adult.  I think the only things I'm not doing (at least not doing well) are sleeping and eating.  Those figments, if you will, have sort of left my awareness.  The eating thing, I can handle, because food and diet have always been such problematic areas for me, it's nice not having them on the front burner.  Sleep, on the other hand, is big for me.  When I don't get enough, or the right kind of, sleep, I get delirious, and feel hungover.  The day will just sort of slide by in a haze, and before I know it, I've been working for thirteen hours straight, haven't eaten for half the day, and wonder what happened and where everything went.  But I reiterate... None of these are complaints.  I say that for myself, for my viewers, and for the universe.  I am thankful.  For all of it.  Because I know how much this will teach me and help me grow.
