Daily Joy

"Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words." ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I saw Gone With the Wind the other night. The classical tale endures on and still manages to move audiences. There are some great lines in it and the characters are intriguing to me. I realized how much I love live theatre once again--in fact the arts, whether theatre, film or music bring me much joy.

My uncle is here from out of town and I was remembering that when I graduated from high school I visited him in Vancouver where he lived at the time. He said that he would treat me to anything I wanted to do. He was so sure that I would suggest a fancy night club and an evening of dancing that he was shocked when I told him I had seen an ad for A Streetcar Named Desire which I had read in my grade 12 year and asked if he would take me to the theatre. He ended up getting season's tickets the following year because he had such a good experience.

What is it that you should do every day to bring joy to your heart?

Peace,

Suzanne
