It seems like I have been going non-stop since I got back from Japan, and this weekend was no different.
I played flute on Saturday at a parish that was having its 100 year anniversary celebration as well as its Oktoberfest celebration on the same day. It was a big deal, and the archbishop was there as well as a bunch of different priests and guys from the Knights of Columbus all dressed up in their outfits. It was a big deal. And I felt only somewhat prepared. I played something or sang something on every single song, and also played some solos mixed in. I haven't played that much flute in probably a year and it was a bit stressful as well with all the pomp and circumstance. But it went off without a hitch and I was really satisfied in the end. Not to mention relieved. Whew.
I spent most of the rest of the weekend finishing going through my pictures from Japan. I'm finally almost ready to get them printed! It's really time consuming to go through that many pictures, let me tell you. I'm probably going to only print about 200 of them, but that's still a LOT! When you start out with over a thousand though...
Now it's the work week again and I'm already tired. Not a good way to start the week.
Life is filled with shades of grey; the trick is to see them as a rainbow rather than a cloudy day.

"Finished!" "Dekita!"
That's what some of my kids call out when they finish work in the book. I hope you'll post some more pics on Flickr; some more of your favorites, so I can see. Congrats on the music scene. Must be rewardings (I'm sure it will, at least after the weariness has faded. ;)
