Yellow Mug + Pilates

Today I made coffee. When I reached into the cupboard to retrieve a mug I pulled out a gorgeous yellow one. It reminded me so much of my coffee times with my sister-in-law Glenna - favorite mug - yellow.

Today Leigh and I also decided to try out pilates again. Man - they make it look so easy. This also reminded me of Glenna again. Our attempt at getting fit before the wedding, lasted only a week or two. How long will this one last? We'll have to see.

I miss Glenna

This is her and my favorite nephew

Seriously, people, no one cares about your moments.

P.S., Glenna:
1. Knocking on Heaven's Door
2. Sweet Child o' Mine
3. Welcome to the Jungle
4. Paradise City
I want my beer.

People care about the moments or they wouldn't comment.

P.S. When you Google the list it doesn't count.

Angie, have you found the outlets yet?

I have seen Angie and Leigh partaking in their vigorous Pilates program.
It has turned into a competition. I'm sure everyone who is reading this is not surprised.
Hey Angie

Keep up the good work

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
