I was reflecting on my blog today because of a wonderful post I received from a friend. Susan, thank you for being a loyal viewer! It's nice to know that there are at least a few people that I have touched by my presence on this tiny marble we call Earth. It's even better when you receive thanks and recognition when you aren't even looking for it.
I'm so grateful for eveything that has happend in my life and the opportunities and experiences I have, and continue to receive. I honestly try to look forward to each day with renewed enthusiasm for what can and will happen in my life. In many ways I feel like I'm a young kid just starting out on the journey, even though I'll never admit EXACTLY how much further along on the road I am (age-wise). My decision to start actively acting a few years ago is one which most make MUCH younger, but I felt compelled to explore what I can bring to the table. Again, I'm so very thankful for every opportunity I've received. I know competition is fierce in the industry and many extremely talented people never get the opportunity to fully explore their talent. So, I give thanks to the universe (or whatever title you refer to the life force) for giving me even the smallest opportunity. Each role I play and each group I work with is a joy and a blessing fulfilled. Also, an opportunity for me to learn and grow as a person and an actor.
Thank you to EVERYONE I've ever worked with and to those I've yet to. I am so deeply honored.
I haven't had many postings on my blog (back to the original though of this post), mostly because since Much Ado ended I've been taking a self-imposed rest for a bit. I have been on a few auditions and I'm waiting to hear about a call back on one! As always, I'll keep you posted.

Good to see your post. And don't worry about the age at which you started acting; I was 56 when I first got up on stage and it's been a grand ride ever since. Of course, I never quit my day job to pursue the craft.
ReplyDeleteAnyway - do keep posting and acting and playing your music and taking your pictures and all those other things you do that make you a special friend. :>)
