What are YOU thankful for?

I am thankful for too many things to name, so I guess I am thankful for MY life. I have come to embrace my sexuality and am thankful for it. I am thankful for my talents and love for theatre. I am thankful for supportive parents and family.

I just keep thinking to myself how many times I thought of killing myself a couple of years ago. Now, I am so thankful I did not. I hated my life and now I love it and could not imagine it any other way. I thank God and my parents for that.

Last, but not least, I am thankful for BroadwayWorld.com. It might sound foolish, but this web site and the members here have changed/saved my life. THANK YOU.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,
Derric

Happy Thanksgiving Derrick (and all to post later) -- I am thankful for every day given to me -- my lover, friends, family and collegues -- I try to take life one day at a time and live it to the fullest.

Not silly -- I have met some great people from BWW who are real and true friends....

re: What are YOU thankful for?

I'm thankful for my family and friends, and for being able to spend this long weekend with them. I know it sounds really corny, but being away at college has taught me to appreciate my loved ones... and for them, I am very very very thankful.

I'm also thankful for just plain silliness. If there was no such thing as silliness, I would be very very bored, and frankly, quite boring.

re: What are YOU thankful for?

Every year @ my school the senior class nominates a few kids to speak @ our annual Thanksgiving day assembly, and then the faculty chooses who they think would be best. This year, the seniors nominated a girl who is no longer able to attend school; she was diagnosed with cancer last May. But anyway, she gave this really moving speech about how you think your Thankful but you're not really until you almost lose everything, etc. The whole school was crying, especially me. And then at the end she and the girls a cappella club, which she founded, sang Lean on Me and it was so pretty and she was the soloist and she hadn't sung with them for a long time and anyway it just really made me think about life. If you're sitting here, at your computer, your life is pretty good. Somewhere, there is someone who is worse off. It doesn't mean you shouldnt' try to change your problems. But it does mean you should think about them before you try. Happy Thanksgiving to all, as we celebrate the only selfless holiday. As we celebrate what we have as opposed to what we want. "When you can't have what you want, it's time to start wanting what you have." Good night, BWW!

re: What are YOU thankful for?

I'm thankful that for everything I've been through, I'm still here. That I have my sanity (no comments from the peanut gallery, I'm trying to be serious and have a 'moment'), my health and that I'm relatively happy.

My friends -- the people who have kept me in touch and seen me through the darkest of times.

My family -- that even though we fight and 'hate each other' sometimes, we still have each other.

I'm thankful that for as bad as I have it, I still have it pretty damn good.

I'm very thankful for a certain someone -- they know who they are. The one person who has always kept me grounded, shown me the lighter side of life and been there whenever I have needed them. For rescuing me from myself and for being my rock through everything, I love and am incredibly thankful for them.

And I'm thankful for the little things... the simplicity of having a child look up to you, the calm before the storm, the beauty of the Manhattan skyline....

I guess I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

This year, I've got to say I'm most thankful for the new friends I've made. You guys know who you are and you mean more to me than you'll ever know.

bta: a husband AND boyfriend? nice...

I am thankful for my mother. My grandmother lives with us because she has alzhiemers, and my mother cares for her the most out of the family. She is such a good person. I always try to make a consious effort to tell her how much I appreciate her, but I really don't know what I would do without her.

And of course you guys! :)
