MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG

Things continue to be moving along rather smoothly, at a somewhat steady pace. Little side jobs are still dropping at my feet, which keep the bills paid, and acting opportunities are coming into sight on the horizon, even though I have nothing ground-breaking to report…as of yet.

I will admit it has been slower than usual, at least for me, but those of you who read my blogs know that I have always said it is about baby steps, and I think that’s true, whether they are rapid or sluggish ones. Every child starts walking at various paces and at different times, but all get where they are heading in the end, and we can too, as long as we keep trying. Remember, persistence is key!

As I mentioned last week, my parent’s were in town. Having them around always re-energizes me because they are so supportive in every way. They remind me that if I really want it, to be an actor in my case, I can achieve it, it will happen and they believe in me. They always encourage me while also letting me know that they are there for me no matter what I am doing, as long as I am happy.

I honestly wish everyone could have parents, or parental figures, like mine, but I realize that isn’t always possible, and of course we all know “life isn’t fair,” but, either way, we can hopefully all make the most of what we are given. While those of us who might be given more, in whatever form, will be able to offer help to others, even in a simple way, such as being a listening ear. After all, when you think about it, we’re all in this together.

As I roll along my acting road, I am prepping for yet another trip to NYC, Jet Blue airlines must love me…hehe, and I have piles of clothes, bags, accessories, and of course shoes, laid out all over my floor, making for quiet a rainbow of spring colors. Flying to the Big Apple makes me happy and I am always ready to take another quick bite out of it, since it seems to inspire me in ways I can’t really explain.

Perhaps it’s the bright lights, fast pace, around the clock energy, yummy pizza and bagels and the “go get ’em” attitude. Regardless it always offers what I need, even in the times I don’t know I need it. All in all, who knows what exactly is in store for me as I ride out this week before taking to the skies, but I know that me, myself and I will continue to look on the bright side as, “merrily we roll along.”

“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.” - Anon
