Yesterday started out as a difficult day. There seemed to be a dark cloud looming over me that I just couldn't shake. After trying a few things from my vibrant living bag-o-tricks, I reached out to loved ones for support. Simply asking them to hold me in a positive and loving thought, prayer... As the day went on I was mesmerized by the magic of synchronicity! The subject I was scheduled to teach in class inspired a question from a student which spoke directly to my present circumstance. My partner surprised me after work with a healthy salad that nourished my body. Later on I went to a memorial service for a fellow comic. It was wonderful to hear about his life from his family and friends. Each comedian at the open mic told and retired one of his jokes. It really was beautiful. We gathered at a restaurant afterward and talked about life...the subject of addiction came up (our friend had lost his battle with substance abuse). As I fell asleep and woke this morning I found myself thinking of all that I'd learned about sadness and the ways we chose to deal with our fears. I am thankful that I felt my feelings yesterday. I am thankful for the loving support I received. I am thankful that I've chosen a career that allows me to laugh, cry, be triumphant, scared, inspiring and hopeful, publicly. That my truth (in any given moment) may be part of life's rainfall of lessons not only to myself but to any witness or participant. In this moment, I am humble, filled with gratitude and joy...let it rain!
Yesterday this was my unstoppable song!
