What kind of week was it?
It was a week of relative safety.
It was a week when my hair, among other things, looked blue:
(If it’s a week when you are having trouble reading that blue t-shirt, it says
Everybody is a
genius
but if you judge a
fish
by its ability to
climb a tree,
it will live its
whole life
believing that it is
stupid.)
It was a week when my cardiologist, Dr. Mark Estes, was pleased with my recovery from my May 4 heart-related surgery.
It was a week when I put aside my fears of singing in public and auditioned for a musical.
It was a week when I did NOT get a call-back for that musical.
It was a week when the “rejection” of not being called back neither dampened my mood nor my hope to perform more in public. While it’s true that I had the
of telling myself I was “rejected” because I could not make any Thursday rehearsals …
… my rapid recovery from that disappointment may have been the best part of my week.
It was a week when the question “Where’s Waldo?” was finally answered.
It was a week of lots of work in therapy.
It was a week of many cats.
It was a week of lots of music.
It was a week of different people and different perspectives.
It was a week of messy and clean.
It was a week of wildlife — fake and real.
It was a week when I attended — and gave a workshop at — a group psychotherapy conference.
It was a week that’s not quite over and which will include — today! — my meeting fellow WordPresser Mark Bialczak and his lovely wife Karen.
It was a week when I sang “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” many times, some better than others:
What kind of week is it, for you?
Many thanks to everyone who helped me create this week-in-review post and special thanks to you — of course! — for being here.
