Minnesota'N'ice

Well folks, the show is over, temporarily, that is. We are on a mini hiatus until we begin to ramp up for the September shows in Mankato. My weeknights are now suddenly barren from a multitude of rehearsals, I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad!

The cast and crew were a great group of which to be part, and while, I'm no dancer, even my two left feet seemed to do ok, likely, only because they were in the most amazing pair of boots loaned to me by my dear friend Ingrid.

"I can see a lot of life in you. You are going to be great, because you already are." Sufjan Stevens

"Don't spend your precious time asking 'Why isn't the world a better place?' It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is 'How can I make it better?' To that there is an answer." Leo F. Buscaglia

St. Theresa's Prayer:
May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Gil Bailie

"Don't just wish for peace, work for it."

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." E.E. Cummings

“People where you live,” the little prince said, “grow five thousand roses in one garden… yet they don’t find what they’re looking for…” “They don’t find it,” I answered. “And yet what they’re looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water…” “Of course,” I answered. And the little prince added, “But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.” Antoine de Saint Exupery

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person." Mister Rogers

"I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Thoreau

"And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time." T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment to improve the world." Anne Frank

"Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Meade

"A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world." Mohammed

"Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope." Robert F. Kennedy

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all." Laura Ingalls Wilder

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something; and what I can do, that I ought to do; and what I ought to do, by the grace of God I shall do." Edward Everett Hale

"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." Helen Keller

"Where there is love there is life." ~Gandhi

"The possibility that we may fail in the struggle should not deter us from supporting a cause we believe to be just." Abraham Lincoln

"Teach love, for that is what you are." George Eliot

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." Oscar Wilde
