One of my skills, hobbies, and intentional pursuits for the past few decades has been “getting people where they need to go,” whether in mom’s taxi or in career / life.
Congratulations, Andrea! You have reached a milestone; graduation from high school! Another deep passion of mine is raising young musicians. Pictured here are seven high school students who participate in a variety of ways in marching band. Three of them are also members of Accidental Revenge, a fledging rock band which meets and rehearses in my basement. Two of the three belong to me. The guitarist is the young man in black behind Andrea.
Ten things I want to do be fore I die…..hmmm….are these things I want to do ONCE before I die, or things I want to accomplish or attain as a goal before I die? Are these hobbies, careers, or experiences? Do I want music to be my hobby, or my career? Do I mean I want to play the piano every day; or just play it once, really well? Do I want to hear just one standing ovation, or do I want applause every day?And the answer is…………….YES!
It was that kind of day when the sound of a meadowlark could bring one to instant tears and the sun was shining in such a way as to cause one to remember in exquisite detail only the good in loves long lost.
Some have pointed out that I talked exclusively about myself in the Blogs titled, “10 things I want to do before I die.” I began the series as a way of thinking through life, seeing how far I have come, and finding the common thread of dreams and motivation. What I meant to say was, “I did some things in unhealthy ways. I also did some things right.” Let’s define those things, correct course, move forward into the future.” I highly recommend this process to readers!
