So Much Bigger…
It hit me yesterday amid 3 loads of laundry why I needed to have the foundation of a loving relationship and marriage before I could or would “make it big”…
There are many many things on this earth that I love doing more than doing laundry… But, it needed to get done. To make our household run smoothly on a daily basis, I do a lot of small things that aren’t anywhere nearly as glamorous as accepting my Tony Awards…
But, the truth is, a lot of that stuff needs to happen to make any collaborative effort have any kind of chance. Everyone needs to pitch in and do whatever they can, whenever they can, to make it work. Theatre, just like a home and family, is a collaborative effort.
As small as laundry may seem, it’s a bunch of those small things that make this big thing, our life together, work… and our life is so much bigger than me…
I was actually thankful folding socks and underwear yesterday… thankful to be a part of something so big and full of love.
To be great, I have to be grateful. And I am… but I never thought I’d feel that doing the laundry!
