"Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means."
---Leo Buscaglia
Today I was one of two parent volunteers at my daughter's school for the afterschool Drama Club. I was excited to be able to be a fly on the wall and see what the children (about 40 or 50 of them) have been doing in the club meetings twice a week.
Turns out they are singing and dancing up a storm to several Broadway hits. The dance they practiced today wasn't particularly hard in and of itslef, but it must have been hard to do it in sync with so many other kids.
It's always fun to be around performing children. And I marvel at their abilities, so highly developed among some. I think I'm all the more interested in and amazed by what these kids do since I had practically zero talent in this area as a kid and did not steer my older girls towards it. I recall getting picked for abbreviated part as Golda, the mom in Fiddler on the Roof, and Maria, the Governess, in Sound of Music. But since those are the last roles I can remember I guess that means my acting/drama career piqued by fourth grade!
Uh oh, falling asleep here -- it's been a really late weekend...better sign off. Goodnight!
