Nov 7,2013 Grateful for opportunities to create new things...

Today I am grateful that it is musical season! 
I am super excited for the show "The Pajama Game". It's a show I haven't seen.

 I was fortunate enough to accompany many of the students during vocal auditions, and loved being involved and supporting them.  I loved seeing young adults doing something that for some was a first time experience, getting outside their comfort zone.

                 I am grateful for teachers and directors, who have become friends,

 and who give their heart and soul to the program. 

And from a few years back...

 I am grateful for the diversion and new life that musicals and plays bring to me. I love being involved in activities that my children are participating in, especially when many of my days I now struggle with a sense of passion for life.   

 I love watching a show come together. There's a magic in the process, and for this I am grateful today!
