I have lost track of what number tonight’s birthday celebration is…but my friend Kathleen treated me to a fantastically fun evening. We had a delicious supper and then headed off to Hairspray at the local outdoor theatre. The cast was fabulous—there were two standing ovations. We laughed lots during the performance.
At the same time, the play gives people lots to think about: issues of race, sexual orientation, beauty, overweight people, and more abound in this play. The line by Motormouth Maybelle caught my attention for some reason. The challenge is one that I need to learn to live by. It is easier to retreat than to stand up for what you believe in at the time, but in the end you pay big consequences.
It is late here and I need to work in the morning so I better get to bed! Thanks, Kathleen, for such a wonderful evening.
Peace
Suzanne
