Appreciations Year Three: Day 143

The excitement I feel any time I start a new improv project. SO. EXCITED!

Inventing a new warm-up – like gratitude ball! Just like word ball, but with stuff you love.

Facebook fun with photoshop.

Year 1, Day 116: creamer, HUGE, improv

I appreciate:

  1. Coconut milk creamer. Makes my coffee so yummy – and doesn’t make me sick. ♥
  2. HUGE Theater for creating such a wonderful space for new improvisers to perform – including me! I both appreciate – and am terrified about – getting to try out my solo piece in next week’s Solo Showcase. (!!)
  3. Getting to play in a bunch of shows in the next round of IAGG. Really, I’m giddy like a little kid before Christmas. Oh – wait – it IS before Christmas. And I think we all agree that I’m pretty much always like a little kid….. 🙂

Year 1, Day 92: Mondays, facebook, HUGE playing

I appreciate:

  • Laughter Mondays, laughter yoga and Show X. Mondays are awesome!
  • All the excellent posts on FB today. I love my friends who are, like me, searching for brightness and joy in the world. Nice posts today! ♥
  • Getting to play at HUGE again tonight – with my brilliant and amazing classmates from 401. We’re gonna try out our new form! 🙂

Year 1, Day 89: aftereffects of feeling pleased with aftereffects of feeling pleased with aftereffects

Today’s gratitudes:

  • I appreciate the way bits of scenes from the improv-a-thon flash through my mind and make me laugh all over again. Nice aftereffect!
  • Hahaha – now I appreciate the word aftereffect. I don’t think I’ve ever written it before. It looks cool.
  • I appreciate how easily I’m pleased by words. Being a geek has its advantages! 😉
  • I’m pleased by feeling so pleased about being easily pleased just now. So meta.

Year 1, Day 86: huge appreciation for HUGE

It will come as no surprise for you to learn that I appreciate HUGE Theater! Here are today’s reasons:

  1. It is one of the most open and welcoming theater communities I’ve ever encountered.
  2. People of all skill levels are encouraged to explore their creativity, stretch past their comfort levels to see what’s there, and to see an expanded version of themselves in the process.
  3. Honesty and humor color all the improv that happens there — and you can see this amazing live theater 6 nights a week!

Year 1, Day 83: friends and family, audience, improv community

I appreciate:

  1. My amazing friends and family who showed up for our ComedySportz show yesterday. It was so great to see you all out there. Thank you! ♥
  2. My classmates’ friends and families who showed up. It was SO much fun to play to a packed house!
  3. Getting to know and learning improv with some of the brightest, most generous, most talented people in the Twin Cities. 🙂

Year 1, Day 82: sleeping, saturday, show

Today I am grateful:

  1. That Gracie slept through the night. Hallelujah for a decent night’s sleep.
  2. The spaciousness of Saturday…so many possible activities today. Gray and rainy – a perfect day for baking. Or a nap! Or…
  3. …being in an awesome (and free!) improv show!
