If I haven't said it before I will say it now I LOVE SATURDAYS!
I got so much accomplished today, started out with a nice hot cup of coffee, checked my sites while I listened to Etta James...I want a Sunday kind of love, ooh I love this song. Pretty much everyone I know was going to the Garlic Festival but I, who don't really like crowds totally shy away from these types of events. I used to love it when Sam and I were dating, and even into the first years of our marriage. The turning point for me was when our boys were still young at the Tapestry n' Talent Festival in Downtown San Jose, we were sitting on the lawn watching a Raggae band and a fight broke out just a few people behind us. I felt so trapped, first of all I worried about the safety of my children, then I thought about how difficult it would be to escape a situation like this. I felt unsafe to say the least, so from then on I'm a little weird with crowds. Funny how your perspective of the world changes once you have children. I am not a paranoid worry wart, but I have always taught my kids to be aware of their surroundings, and trust their instincts. You ask what does this have to do with recording music...nothing, sorry.
So, today was a thorough cleaning day. I love to see my kitchen sparkling clean. So Sam got up before I did, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have my coffee first thing in the morning. He started cleaning the stove, the hood, the walls, the refrigerator (even on top), amazing right? My husband is great about trying to keep me happy. While he worked on, I swept, mopped, dusted, changed the bedding, did a couple of loads of laundry...
Sam took the day off from the Studio so after cleaning he decided to repair a few leaky pipes, of course this meant the water had to be off for about 8 hours. I ran over to my son Jeremys' to wash my hands and face. Got ready and went to Cathedral of Faith to hear an excellent author and teacher Bruce Wilkinson. His latest book You Were Born For This, to this iI say you better believe it and a whole lot more. God gives us dreams, and our circumstances either force us to fulfill them, or discourage us completely. I know this firsthand because my dream sat on the shelf for about 20 years, it goes by quickly and then you think well that was a long time ago...booyah it can happen. Look at me I am proof of that, I've still got a song to sing! Speaking of singing, I better practice my song, on Monday I will be singing the Lead Vocal. Please stop in and see us, it's fun!
Great Sunday to you, <3 Lizzi
