A NIGHT OUT...............................



Last night, my wonderful soul mate and I joined friends to see the opening night of "Wicked"...I had read Gregory Maguire's novel several years ago and had mostly forgotten the main parts of the book.  

But what I did remember was the main character...Elphaba...and that it did happen in the most wonderful place of all....OZ.
It has loose ties to the original Wizard of OZ....but the story line is so original that anyone will be throughly entertained.

If it comes to a theater anywhere near you....I believe it is a must see for anyone who loves live theatre.  

I know in these trying times supporting the arts may seem a little frivolous...but the arts are especially necessary for one's soul during stressful times.

"Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual."
Beethoven

Have a beautiful day....

Hugs,

Jo

    Oh Jo Sweetie...
    Does that ever sound like fun. I would love to go and see a live theatre. I haven't ventured yet, but we do have wonderful theatres here in the valley. It is on my bucket list, and once we go, maybe it will be come one of my favs.

    It is so nice to have quiet time and quality time with our better halves.

    Have a gorgeous day sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

    My goodness, here I live in the heart of theater country, and I cannot tell you how many years it has been for me since I went to see a show. That's pretty sad.

    I am interested to read the book, and live theater sounds like fun, and not at all frivolous.

    Good for you! Glad you had a fun night out. And you are right about supporting the arts--that is never frivolous.

    Oh, I've been meaning to see this one for a long time! Thanks for the reminder...

    You're so right about the arts nurturing the soul, and it is especially important during stressful times. Even if you can't afford theatre tickets, a stroll through a museum costs little or nothing! Even gazing at a beautiful flower is art appreciation.

    The last live theater presentation I saw was "Menopause". My face hurt for two days because I laughed so hard! I did enter a contest to win tickets to see "Wicked"! Perhaps I will! I love the arts. A good show or a great art show are some of my favorite things to do! Thanks for sharing.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
