Today is another June gloom Monday. I went for a run this morning though because I knew if I waited until the afternoon, I would be sorry. It will be hot by then. And then I won't go. I'm trying to stay motivated to work out and even though it may not be my favorite thing to do, I know how important it is. So I run.
It has been hard writing these past few weeks. I feel like I'm pulling teeth to come up with a topic. I've been feeling a little burnt out and I know it is time for a break. Tomorrow is my last class for awhile and I'm looking forward to taking this summer to relax a little, get things lined up for the fall and rejuvenate. Who knows if my plans to relax will happen or not - this is the business when you never know when the phone will ring - but I know I need some sort of respite.
I'm going to have to start a blogroll because there are some great acting blogs and resources out there that I'm just starting to learn about and want to read more regularly. If you are an acting friend who reads this, you'll want to check it out. Bonnie Gillespie's column this week is another great one and fitting of my mood. Talking to some friends over the weekend, I realize I'm not the only one in a bit of a funk. And since Bonnie's column is about the hard times, it seems we're not alone. But this is an ebb and flow process and being an actor really makes you redefine what success is. Some may think success is a job or a status or a paycheck. In this world, success is in the pursuit....wherever that pursuit may lead.
(PS - I got a shout out in Bonnie's "Your Turn" section. I wrote an email to her about registration for CAP through the SAG Foundation and she included the info for her readers. Check it out. Thanks, Bonnie!)
