Giving Thanks

Giving Thanks.

 Yesterday was a whirlwind of travel and food, which was wonderful but exhausting.

 I was thinking on this yesterday, but taking the time write on it this morning. On what I am thankful for. Perhaps I've said this a lot previously, but I feel that it is something I cannot be thankful enough for, and that is the friends in my life.

 A life in entertainment can be jading for a variety of reasons. Maneuvering through intrigue and egos can be both jading and exhausting. Feeling like you're slowly being lost in the shuffle of deals and desires, and wondering if you're even losing yourself in the grind and hustle can be soul siphoning.

 So when you find yourself in the midst of intelligent, creative, ambitious people that have remained loving, kind, humble and gracious is rare and precious. I am thankful for the wonderful people in my life, both performer and non, (and for all of them putting up with me) and also realize how fortunate I am to have found the friends and comrades that I have in recent years.

 I am thankful for all of my friends that have been with me through good times and hard times. I am grateful that we've found each other, and for their presence in my life. For your presence in my life.

 I love so many of you here, too many to tag. But I sincerely hope that you know who you are. Even if we don't speak or see each other all the time.

 You were with me when I lost everything. You've been with me during the crazy journey before and the road upward since. I am endlessly grateful for my second (and third, fourth?) family, my friends, my colleagues and all of the people that make my life wonderful.

 Thank you.
