THE TIMES OF OUR LIVES…
While it is tempting to wish everyone a good old fashioned HAPPY HALLOWEEN, it has occurred to me that this is actually a KICKOFF, and I don’t mean football! Ushering in a true Fall Cold Front, we are alerted to what is just around the corner…can you even believe that just 60 DAYS from today we will have celebrated HOMECOMING (and that IS Football), THANKSGIVING (a favorite holiday for many reasons), our divine granddaughter’s 18th Birthday, our traditional and always SUPER SNOWBALL SHOWCASE, the birth of our living Lord Jesus Christ at CHRISTMAS and finishing off 2023 (phew!) with NEW YEAR’S EVE…all within two months from this very day!
Because I have heard it from many of our Time To Shine Patrons of The Arts, I know I am not alone in wondering WHERE does the time go so quickly? It seems every month is gone before it even begins these days. I guess we can take heart in knowing we get a small reprieve this weekend when we set our clocks back and get a big one hour do-over this Sunday.
Maybe we should all take a TIME OUT to stop, enjoy each breath we take, and think about what is TRULY important in our lives—hugging our children-and-parents-and-friends if you are lucky enough to have them, saying a small prayer of thanks for all we DO have and experiencing each moment. It is a blessing to wake up and embrace another day, with all of life’s twists and turns just waiting for you to experience before THEY TOO go rushing by!
In closing, I would LOVE to wish all of the wonderful Families of Time To Shine a Happy Halloween, Happy Homecoming, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Birthday AR, Happy Snowball Showcase, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year….WOWZER, bring it on!
With Musical Awe and Amazement in All We Do Together,
