14th Annual 'Ukulele Festival of Northern California

Today, my dad, my step-mom, and a family friend went to Hayward to attend the 14th Annual 'Ukulele Festival of Northern California. My stepmom played the 'ukulele with her class. I enjoyed that performance and all of the other performances. After the festival was over, we picked up my husband and went to Grand Indian Buffet for some delicious Indian food.

a busy Saturday

Well, most of my Saturdays are busy. This Saturday was busier than usual.

Three of my co-workers picked me up this morning. We drove to Discovery Meadow in front of the Children's Discovery Museum. Several co-workers, colleagues, volunteers, vendors, entertainers, activity booths and special attractions were at the San Jose Children's Faire. I had a variety of duties throughout the day. These events are fun yet tiring. Although I wore sunscreen and a hat, I became a bit pink. I'm not used to being outdoors all day; however, it was a fun change of pace.

When I came home, I took a shower, a quick nap. After a bit, my husband and I went to Fry's then to dinner. After that, I went to Target to pick up some cat food and some other needed items.

time

Sometimes I worry too much about the future.

Sometimes I dwell too much upon the past.

I need to focus on TODAY.

Every day is a new day.

Dude! If I had known about this, I would have arranged to go.
Too late this year. Perhaps next year.

hip hop

Tonight I started my first hip hop class. I wasn't able to dance last week on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday because I was recovering from a minor injury that had nothing to do with dancing, and a lot to do with my occasional clumsiness when I am in too much of a hurry.

Tonight's class was fun, and I"m looking forward to future classes.

The Thursday hip hop class that I was planning to take won't start until May. The Friday Afro-Brazilian class might not start until June.

This is my current dance class schedule:

Monday: Hula and Jazz

Tuesday: Afro-Brazilian dance

Wednesday: Hip Hop

Thursday: Tap

Swing set

One morning, I arrived early to the medical office where I had an appointment. I decided to take a walk in a nearby park. I enjoyed the cool fresh air.

I spotted an empty swing set, so I decided to swing for a while, something I haven't done for many years. While I was swinging, I laughed, giggled, and felt, for a few moments, like a carefree eight year old, fearless and free.

When I was in elementary school, I loved to swing on the swing sets in the park and on the swing set in our backyard. I often dreamed of being able to swing all the way around, making a perfect circle, then returning to my original spot. My current limited knowledge of physics and gravity tells me that this is impossible without some painful bodily injury. Back then, I didn't know that, so I tried and tried. I was sometimes able to swing in a near half-circle, I was almost parallel to the ground. I was fearless.
