j u l y

finally got around to seeing the fifth installment of the Pirates movie in the theater, on Joyce's recommendation. it was more exciting than I anticipated - extremely fun to watch!

while many of the regulars were attending a conference in Chicago, the music worship team needed me to sing, which was so uplifting to me, and brought me out of my "bleu's" ... the following week I didn't realize, but I was scheduled to read Torah; thankfully my calendar reminders gave me enough time to do my regular preparation, and our gabai told me afterward that it was a wonderful reading.

I was encouraged by my Alice director to join the fun again this summer, and will be again mentoring, and playing several of Frog & Toad's friends as they play and sing through a Year! the kids are so loving and welcoming, and their warmth is soothing to my aching heart.  of course, trying to remember dialog, lyrics and choreo is a completely different matter!  focus - focus - focus! but we're all having a great time putting it all together. one of my mentees from last year joins me again, and I have a new mentee who is just joining Tabard this year.
